Lyrics for Down in the Ground by Handsome Family:
| | | Artist: | Handsome Family |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Down in the Ground | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 212 | | | | Lyrics: | down in the valley of hollow logs
two lovers lay in the weeds
safe in the net of their
sweaty arms
safe from the wind in the trees
my love, said the boy, you're the clear
blue sky
you're the air I gulp to breathe
I feel you rushing through my vein
like the
wind rushing through the trees
my love, said the girl, you're my secret pearl
you're a
string of tiny glass beads
you're a burning star I keep in a jar
safe from the wind in the
trees
down in the valley of hollow logs
two lovers lay back in the weeds
listening
to the howl of hunting dogs
and the wind howling through the trees
then insects ran for
the underbrush
as the wind fills the air with dead leaves
and every stone moved closer to
dust
as the wind tore through the trees
so the young girl pierced her lily-white
breast
her blood poured over dark weeds
a silver dagger through her burning heart
cold
as the wind in the trees
so the boy picked up the bloody knife
and stove it through the
chest
farewell, farewell to the wind and the trees
I'll die with the one I love best | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
