I had alot to say
before they sewed my mouth shut
Out on a rosy field,
between a cross and crescent
I had a love so pure
I had to leave her behind.
I never told her why
Did I ever tell myself why?
I kept a steady hand
as we untied the bowline,
Off of a ragged pier
during a grey-haired sunset.
Past the old tree and the coal mine,
We deserted all the burdens of the land
Traded all that aging clay
For the urgency and anger of the sea
A hundred fading prayers
sewn into woolen blankets
And my father's rosary
twisted around my frail uncertain wrist
I'd heard a soul could float
But could it swim to safety?
Well I'm scared that when this ends
I may not even have one
at all.
And you said,
"I do believe that hope
is just a grand distraction
from the walls you will have to climb."
So pick up your weeping feet
and just start moving forward
And don't look back to see if she's there

Taylor Swift has three songs in my Top 25 favorite songs of all time. Twenty-two other people are tied for second place. This cover of "Blank Space" is excellent and has a good chance of breaking into my Top 25. bruce123

Clever thought provoking lyrics,
"You had built a new face, empty but awake, painted it the one shade you could never fake"
Beautifully composed. This is a re-recording of "His Old Branches" yet manages to feel fresh and important to The Republic of Wolves discography. I'm joining a cult.
