Rachel Sermanni - In the Hollow lyrics

It's been a long time now It's been a long time It's been a long time since someone's been looking for me I've been crouching in the hollow of this tree for so long I think they may have gone home Home Home It's been a long time now It's been a long time It's been a long time since I saw somebody look in my eyes I've been looking in this mirror so long No one has had the chance to know me Know Know me And everyone speaks now Everyone speaks Everybody speaks with the same words on their tongues Spit them into murky waters, I am under no penetrating sun down here No mother's warm and steady hold down here I am alone And in darkness I count the times now I count the times I count the times since last I had somebody asking for me I've been sitting on this bench quietly watching stubborn, giggling girls get chosen I don't care Why would I care anyway? And then he spins her There she spins Her hair whips him in the eye He doesn't mean to kick her shins They continue out of time across the floor, I swear if I were chosen... Let it go Why would I care anyway? I count the days now I count the days I count the days since someone said he had eyes only for me Oh, his queen beside him whilst he was hiding Thoughts of having me beheaded No use in mother's cautious words, I was Quite sure Oh, I'm alone And in darkness So go on through your hazy fields of summer She can flicker like a petal in the sun glow I can lay down in these rushes as the wind blows Shadows play upon my face But you are gone from this place
