Frank Moscowitz - The Ballad of Buttermilk Falls lyrics

[Verse 1] The willow, still she cries that lonely song It's been so long And the stars are the same stars with the same truth And in that river's secret, still shivering The reckoning That came like thunder on September 1st [Verse 2] Four of them go blind with confidence It was in their prints Running like the ground was made of fire Who could know the terrible deliverance? The consequence Was hidden under the water's diamond eyes [Verse 3] Three of them are still Waiting for a sign, they drop the line Filling with a horrible numb The moment whipped against the rocks It was deafening and threatening To grow them up forever [Bridge] Are you Daniel? Your signature on the breeze? Your memory has watched me But am I a fool to think you would wait in this place [Verse 4] The willow takes its place And it gives her arm, her strongest arm To the hold the rope that was never meant to k** Oh, the current ate him like a serpent vanishing, vanishing Nothing turns a mother from her will Nothing turns a mother from her will Nothing turns a mother from her will
