Fallen Peaches Lyrics - Singing Bones - Handsome Family

We came down a black dirt hill 

Between the rows of blooming peaches 

And we scattered leaping fawns 

As we fell into the ditches 

Ahead of me ran Jackson 

Who took a bullet to the chest 

And beneath the swaying peaches 

Jackson slowly bled to death 

But as his green eyes dimmed 

I saw a fiery mist 

Drift softly to the clouds 

From between his cold blue lips 

Now my eyes were open 

I stood up between the guns 

I saw trails of smoke and fire 

Flying everywhere I looked 

Like hands of glowing light 

Trailing up from fallen peaches 

And around the running fawns 

Leaping through the branches 

Across the corpses on the hills 

The sunset spread her flames 

And her glowing fingers held me 

As she dug my shallow grave
