[Verse 1]
The words of a sad song
The blackbird swoops down
Shadows are longer
When there's leaves
On the ground
Something so familiar
About a place unknown
Sparked a longing
That took us far from home
[Verse 2]
I can't remember
I've lost your face
But the pieces that haunt me
Drag me back to this place
Speak of our glory
Through our graves winds will blow
I know that I lost you
Where the blackthorn grows
She goes
Her ghost goes
[Verse 3]
The message was unclear
But we done what we could
The pines of slumber
Must draw their blood
They make a fine crown
Fit for a king
Woven by these hands
And from forgotten things
[Verse 4]
Hope springs eternal
From the breast of all mankind
But hope is a curse too
It'll drive you out of your mind
I can't remember
Caught in the throes
I know that I lost you
Where the blackthorn grows
