Stalled Lyrics - Through The Trees - Handsome Family

The giant of Illinois 

Died from a blister on his toe 

After walking all day through the first winter's snow 

Throwing bits of stale bread to the last speckled doves 

He never even felt his shoe full of blood 

Delirious with pain, his bedroom walls began to glow 

And he felt himself soaring up through falling snow 

And the sky was a woman's arms 

The sky was a woman's arms 

A boy with a club foot 

Had sat next to him in school 

Once upon a summer's day they went wandering through the woods 

They spotted a sleeping swan 

On the banks of a muddy stream 

And they stormed it with rock still it collapsed in the reeds 

They lay out on a green lawn full of chocolate and lemonade 

But under the blue bowl the giant was afraid 

Because the sky was a woman's arms 

The sky was a woman's arms
