Wooden Idols Lyrics - Singles - Jarboe

she could tell you right now 

she could hold you near 

she could tell you right now 

but she couldn't shake your fear 

for this is not your answer 

still you gamble the loss 

she was the devil's daughter 

but now she carries a cross. 

she suffered wooden idols 

she won't take them up again 

she suffered wooden idols 

they're like a promise whispered in the wind 

you're walkin, down the lonely highway 

but you know how to believe 

just got to have her hold you that way 

til your tear she will receive 

still you wander on and on for miles 

cos you just can't shake your beast 

even as she gives you her tender smile 

your endless searching will never cease 

you suffer wooden idols 

but take them up again 

you suffer wooden idols 

they're like a promise broken in the wind
