[instrumental intro] [Verse 1] Did you guard the roots till dawn Or did you wander till the fog was gone I drank for vows the trees forgot to say Stay near, stay till decay [drop] [Chorus] Moss upon my boots, they follow me around Under the bark, the murmured sound Stay near, stay till decay [instrumental chorus] [Verse 2] Like flask to hand Into the clearing I go Under the oak’s command Where the rivers slow Gone to be overgrown [drop] [Bridge] Sing ragged along Feral hymns that scrape the hunger Under my ribs, as sap will say Stay near, stay till decay [instrumental chorus] [Verse 3] Oh, what a night to lose Torn by the thirst All that I mutter through Is like flask to hand Into the clearing I go Under the oak’s command Where the rivers slow Gone to be overgrown [instrumental chorus] [Outro] Never do I rest Never do I drift away Where the roots confess Only fox will hear me say Sing ragged along Sing ragged along
