the grieving hour - west of roan lyrics

Loading...

brother dear, walk the stones to the place
of our long*gone family
look for the one with light in her hair
and tell her all that you’ve seen

sister dear, take this little silver bell
to the highest hill you see
sing me a note, just sing me one note
it is everything i know

dark birds, leave the chimney
in the grieving hour of dusk
fly around your ghost
i dream, but cannot see

mother dear, i saw you cry at the altar
for your whole life, it was a shame
soon the water was deep, it tugged at your dress
and you prayed for death to be near

i call you back to me
in death or in dreams
and if your eyes be so bright
oh, i could love you then

lover dear, i dreamed you died in the river
and i held your silver hair
wrapped it ’round my wrist three times
and i strung it with t**th for prayer
you come visit me
in dreams as a ghost
silver hair, hollin eyes
and if i look you’re gone

father dear, let down your face of gold
every man will pray
for his family near, for his house to last all year
in the pounding of the rain

lover dear, we have walked on the river
and twisted the grass in our hands
prayed for some god to come down and sing
but none will find us there

you come to visit me
in dreams as a ghost
silver hair, hollin eyes
and if i look, you’re gone

brother dear, the path has been laid
through the dark woods and the water
look for the stone, her name has been carved
and you’ll find me with her there

dark birds, leave the chimney
in the grieving hour of dusk
fly around your ghost
i dream, but cannot see
you come to visit me
in dreams as a ghost
silver hair, hollin eyes
and if i look, you’re gone
