Country House Waits Lyrics - Faun Fables

The country house sat quiet and empty for twenty years 

White, ghostly peaceful for twenty years 

Waiting for children to make their rounds 

across its grounds once more 

The country house was quiet and empty for twenty years 

The country house waits 

The country house was still and forgotten for twenty years 

Only stars and coyotes broke the silence here 

What quiet days to learn motherhood ways 

Come and stay 

(What tall tree canopy from the kitchen i see) 

The country house was still and forgotten for twenty years 

The country house waits 

The country 

The country house 

The country 

The country house 

The country house waits for us 

Overgrown fruit trees, fragments of gates 

A dried-up creek, coiled up snakes 

Whispering tall trees all around you hear 

What do you fear? 

A doorway through cobwebs and blackberry vines 

that brings forth and tends another 

Beginning a time of land and sky 

of learning to walk as a mother 

learning to walk as a mother 

The first time of birth-time, a primal time 

is made for a quiet land 

To be held by a house, waiting to hold 

a family by the hand 

Let's sweep out the cobwebs, pull back the vines 

Growing through the place entwined 

Bring forth children, it's our duty 

to wake up this sleeping beauty 

to wake up this sleeping beauty 

Country house waits
