Justin Vernon - St. Peter's Hood lyrics

It's a warm October night Your lights is on And they're glistening sharp through the trees A vision is stuck as it is But your body moves from wall to wall And I'm hanging on for your mighty fall When the peels have slipped you baby He dare call And I'll hang up the phone When I hear you drive And I cut across the lawn like a surgeon's knife And your body moves like a spin-less top When I'm dragging you out, oh the tears won't stop Honey how'd you have to do him or could you do him I could night (?) And I bury you one way I never thought I would Oh the crushing silence Honey I never knew you could On this deafening morning St. Peter walks with a hood If it's you in the gateway I'm coming on foot So I take the knife and I drive it home I have time and the courage To drive it home once more Of all my dreams to fail me The one person that saves me Of all the sins to nail me And this pardon he gave me And the wind break I fall into the hole And I bury you One way I never thought I would Oh, the crushing silence Honey I never knew you could On this deafening morning St. Peter walks with a hood If it's you in the gateway baby I'm coming on foot My cold body Still warmer than yours And it strangles the life out of me Please have mercy on me And your body moves Like an ocean brakes And the falls crashing down I'm the beats that take Before ever in this hot, dusty grave That's where we'll be So I bury you One way I never thought I would Oh, the crushing silence Honey I never knew you would On this deafening morning St. Peter walks with a hood If it's you in the gateway baby I'm coming on foot If it's you in the gateway baby I'm coming on foot If it's you in the gateway baby I'm coming on foot If it's you in the gateway baby I'm coming on foot
