Amelia Curran - Soft Wooden Towers lyrics

Oh, the river don't mind The cruel from the kind Like a cat in a stable I thought you were mine But them horses go running Like they haven't the time Like the very last word in a firing line I can see you were reckless I was reckless as well We both leapt from the cradle Before the branch fell And now mercy my heart How fast everything grows How everything is a hammer to a sensitive soul And now love as a carriage awaits Push came to shove and we swallowed the bait And laid down in our temperate fate Hand like a needle and a soft touch of grace It never mattered how I ran there I could not get there first And now I miss you like hunger in a desert of thirst Soft wooden towers Carry the tune And wings on the kind river counted on you
