What Once Was versuri

What Once Was lyrics by meka CA

Verse 1
I’m a rambling woman
Mouth spilling questions
Sunlit self possession
A pink dawn phantom
I cannot fathom
Why I am here

Verse 2
I watch twig after twig
A sparrow find home
In her song, in her bones
And like her, winter stirs
My body to the turning
Of the year

Pre-Chorus
Conjuring up hope to hold
Onto ‘til white hills turn gold

Chorus
Between the borders of
Blood and water I stand
Singing to the dead woodlands

Verse 3
I’m a moon counting mountain man
I am no stranger
To fortune or danger
I’ve broken bread with frauds
Some lovers and some gods
But I always leave in tears

Pre-Chorus
So I don’t advise trusting in
Much but profound nothingness

Chorus
How it looms
Branched and bloomed
Way up above us
The memory of what once was
The memory of what once was

Outro
For the ride
Gardenia dried
And a kiss on my forehead
In poison apple red
