The Edge of the Clearing versuri

The Edge of the Clearing lyrics by Kyle Stibbs

Verse 1
I’m a simple woodland folk
My mother was a tree
My flesh is made of lumber
You’ve got hair and I’ve got leaves
You fetch water from the well
That sits beside the woods
I watch and I think of you
As evidence of good

Refrain
But I am not a man
So I can’t take your hand

Pre-Chorus
I wanna break these branches off of my arms
Make a little campfire under the stars
Teach the songs of the birds and the names of the plants
And no ink could ever stain my skin
I’ll claim your name just carve it in
We can be free out in nature
And roll in thе grass

Chorus
But if we did meet face to face
I bеt that you would fear me
So you can live your life and I’ll just watch
From the edge of the clearing

Verse 2
I’m a simple farmer’s girl
At least that’s how I’m raised
But deep within my slumber
There are many roles I’ve played
I fetch water from the well
That sits beside the woods
You watch me and I watch you too
Wishing that I could

Refrain
But you are not a man
So I can’t take your hand

Pre-Chorus
I wanna rip this apron off of my waist
Kick off shoes and run away
Learn all the songs of the birds and the names of the plants
And no dagger’s safe upon my skin
I’ll claim your name just stain it in
We can be free out in nature
And roll in the grass

Chorus
But if we did meet face to face
Would you even get near me?
I don’t know so I’ll just keep my eye
On the edge of the clearing

Spoken
Sister? Sister? …I have news

Skit
Jonathan and Michael saw a creature in the woods
And it’s skin was made of wood
It was watching you
A demon of the forest if they’re not misunderstood
So we’re gathering supplies to get it’s ass for good
We need you to lure it with your beauty
It’s your duty to be doing as you’re told
Let me wipe your tear away
Yeah I know that you’re afraid
But let brother keep you safe
It’s hiding
But we’re searching through the woods
And we’ll find it
And we’ll introduce it to my friend „fire”
By tonight it will be dead or I’m a liar
And I am not a liar
