Dry Grass & Shadows Lyrics - To Be Still - Alela Diane

There are things that I've seen in my head while I'm sleeping in bed 

They do not wither in the morning light 

I'm taken back, oh I'm taken back to the dry grass and the shadows 

Thinking I'd like to look at your teeth lined up in perfect rows 

A maze of children feeding orchard trees 

Where the flat lands stretch inside your mouth 

And when you laugh all the star thistles stumble out 

The flat lands stretch inside your mouth 

And when you laugh all the star-thistles stumble out 

Strong spines of valley hills all overgrown in gold 

Look softer than a spool of old silk thread 

But if we walked down with our feet 

I'd be pulling spines and barbs and fox tails from your skin 

Oh, if we walked down with our feet 

I'd be pulling spines and barbs and fox tails from your skin

There are things that I've seen in my head while I'm sleeping in bed 

They do not wither in the morning light 

I'm taken back, oh I'm taken back to the dry grass and the shadows 

I'm taken back, oh I'm taken back to the dry grass and the shadows
