Raspberry Bush Lyrics - You Me & The Horse - Jerry Leger

Light is spilling lower upon the fragile stairs 

Two men passing by 

How could they know he was there? 

Lifting his arm and leaning to look 

At the face of the dark raspberry bush 

The two men were brothers coming in from the west 

Determined to travel where the rivers feel best 

Roaming the streets of old Willow Town 

Giving out invitations then shooting them down 

But fun is something that can be easily shook 

By the throat of the dark raspberry bush 

It's a year-long winter when you're missing the warmth 

Of familiar faces and neighbourhood haunts 

So you put all your trust in the friendliest guy 

Deep in the crowd of men who don't cry 

He looks quite harmless reading his book 

On the shores of the great raspberry bush 

It's a night on the strip 

The velvet arcades 

The bars with the women who you don't need to beg 

He guided them through the pretty and the lost 

And they walked past the bridge 

Never to be crossed 

There in the shadows all they needed was a push 

To fall in the arms of the raspberry bush 

Looking around their companion had gone 

And they couldn't find their way through the trees and the fog 

It was cold careless laughter and fake searching lights 

Leading them far from safety and drawn out of sight 

So they sat in the dirt waiting for the cure 

Next to the cold raspberry bush 

Brothers holding hands could look different to some 

So he'll punish the times and destroy the young 

Two boys on a journey had to pay for what they did 

Catching the eye of some troubled kid 

So bound together they lay in brass hooks 

Under the roots of the raspberry bush
