Lyrics

Felt so holy as the candle burned down to the bar
And she filled me like her voice filled the room
My feet got sort of heavy, my tongue turned to lead
She was gone 'fore I drank confident
But georgia
Can you hear me?
I've been crawling through the trees
Through the pines, through the pines
Wont you whisper
That you remember me
I searched under rocks for the bird that flew away
If I caught her, I don't know what I would say
'Cause love don't haunt the tavern, its not drunk on the balcony
It don't spill out at 2am into the street
But georgia
Can you hear me?
I've been crawling through the trees
Through the pines, through the pines
Wont you whisper
That you remember me

I was a leash with no dog, like a track with no train
I hung by my hood, let the wind have its way
I was lifeless, useless as a corpse with no grave
An ascetic with no pillar or pain
I was a shed of hair on a dead mare's mane
From her fingers I dangled and danced along the stage
I caught her when I was taught in the yarn
And I yanked with all the strength in my arm
And she tumbled from the rafters and fell to me so hard
To my arms
But georgia
Can you hear me?
I've been calling across the sea
Through the waves, at your breakwater
Wont you whisper
That you remember me
When they seal you in oak and throw dirt on your face
May a soft bark sapling sprout from thee
May your bones turn to wool, may your heart be a nest
And warm the world the way you warmed me
