Sons and Unwed Mothers (Demo)

from Holy Demos Future Demos by Blitzen Trapper

/

lyrics

I lost my lover deep inside this valley
I was searching when I thought I heard her call
But the echoes in the canyon so much like my lover’s voice
Were the high white cries of eagles spinning careless in the wind.

I lost my lover in an old house off the freeway
We’d stopped to take some rustic photographs.
I walked the halls and empty rooms but all I heard was rain
So I made my way up to the cemetery on the hill.

The wild goose runs circles round the wishing well
Till dawn.
All the sons and unwed mothers make their way down
Thru the fog.
Does the howling of these dire wolves wake the dead
Or just the dogs?

I lost my lover in the shadows of this city.
We were waiting for our rideshare in the rain.
She kissed me twice and snapped her fingers
And suddenly I stood at the edge of every world
I’d ever conjured in my mind.

The wild goose runs circles round the wishing well
Till dawn.
All the sons and unwed mothers make their way down
Thru the fog.
Does the howling of these dire wolves wake the dead
Or just the dogs?
