lyrics

Verse 1:

Stay close, promise me
It’s getting cold and the seasons are changing
Tall tales of taller things
Cast spells in the shadows of these cherry trees
I know a hiding place
Rain, rain will come again another day, another day
Say grace and follow me
To see a place where the world won’t hear a thing

Chorus:

Drive slow it’s a scary road
Look down at the city far below
Lost souls from haunted homes
Come back to purify their bones
Black lungs and chemicals
Gave life to all our favorite songs
Far enough to feel alone
The oak tree on mile high road

Verse 2:

Come now brethren
And see how a sinner loves his sins
We’ll drown in medicine
And keep warm when the heavy dreams begin again
Scarecrows in the cherry groves
They sing songs of the winter winds and buried bones
Like stone to sediment
I’m coming home to the great unknown
A carnival of sentiment

Chorus

Verse 3:

Let’s play truth or dare
And we’ll paint a brand new face
To hide behind that pretty hair
I can’t wait to get you here
We’ll celebrate with old champagne
And stories of our greatest fears

Chorus
