The Rise Lyrics - I Am Very Far - Okkervil River

All the riders on the rise 

Circlers from every side 

All the riders on the rise 

Circlers from every side 

Eyes up! 

Light floods around 

In a yellow shadow after night 

Comes down 

In a dull dumb swipe. 

And all's white 

Fire painting on the pines 

And hawks above the timber-line 

Water weeping from the ice

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Fire painting on the pines 

And hawks above the timber-line 

Water weeping from the ice 

Heat is lost 

Winter rocks into a lonely boxwood grove 

And quiet snowfall 

Smothers all of the lawns 

Where the ladies coughed and cried, 

["I don't want to be there when it's time!"] 

The dying stag is on his side 

The hunters are hiding, up on high 

The wind is beating through the briars 

The wind is beating through the briars 

The dying stag is on his side 

The hunters are hiding, up on high 

The wind is beating through the briars 

The wind is beating through the briars

Waves on the graves of the saints 

Dull grey as the sea pushes land away 

Dull ache when you wake 

Grey smoke shows the way you walk 

down by when it's time 

I don't want to be there when it's time 

To go down, down 

I don't want to go down there alone 

Down down 

I don't want to go down there alone 

Down down down down 

Down down down down 

Down down 

Down down 

Down down 

Down down 

Ooh
