Crinian Wood Lyrics - Singles - Alexi Murdoch

It was cold, you had your hands inside your sleeves 

As we walked I heard the laughter in the leaves 

See the shadows lying now where once we stood 

And I would lie down right there if only I could 

The music came to me, it came across the sound 

And you laughed and shown and danced a circle around 

As we walked away, I saw a shadow on the ground 

There were stones inside my pockets that I found 

When I was younger I heard angels on the roof 

As thousand voices singing, each one was the truth 

Well a wise young lad, I left them in my youth 

And I have only just my memory for proof 

See a doorway open on a darker road 

Out in the garden, thread lies broken on the loom 

See a face that's smiling, quick around the wall 

And in the distance, mountains waiting for the fall 

See these knots around my hands, around my feet 

They would take me down my end for me to meet 

I grow weary of this struggle and this fight 

The morning's so far off from out here in the night 

The night is cold and you must leave me, this I know 

And empty all the places where we used to go 

Before I knew you I went climbing in the snow 

Called your name out to the darkness down below
