[Verse] There’s a whisper in the willow shade A ghost of words the winds replay Footsteps lost in the arms of Fotheringay [Chorus] Fotheringay where the sparrows cry Fotheringay where the shadows lie Tell me secrets you’ve kept from the sky [Instrumental break] [Verse 2] A tower that dreams of a queen’s last prayer Stone-cold walls still holding despair Do you remember her song in the air [Prechorus] The leaves don’t speak but they know The river runs with tales untold [Instrumental break] [Chorus] Fotheringay where the sparrows cry Fotheringay where the shadows lie Tell me secrets you’ve kept from the sky [Bridge] If walls could talk they’d break and weep If roots could climb they’d steal what’s deep Time forgot but you still keep The weight of every vow and leap
