The Handsome Family - The Petrified Forest lyrics

When we were together I lay in your river As the fish swam through my hands Raindrops and roses fell from the heavens Just to brush against your skin And a strand of your hair Lost to the wind Sent doves wheeling through the air But now I'm alone in the petrified forest Stumbling on rocks in the dark But I remember, I still remember When you held me in your beautiful arms When you left me alone, the sky turned to stone And my legs rolled into the sea Why did you go? The sea was so cold My arms blew off in the breeze I searched for your footprints The scent of roses As the wind weeps over the sea But now I'm alone in the petrified forest Stumbling on rocks in the dark But I remember, I still remember When you held me in your beautiful arms
