about

The ending of this song comes from a traditional tune, "Swannanoa Tunnel", by Bascom Lamar Lunsford

lyrics

I won’t ask you, to risk no more
If I’m unsure, but I’m unsure
And I know you’re not sure neither

My spirit flies above my bed
While I lay here, as good as dead
My body growing colder still

I feel as though my heart is gone
A withered branch, a paper gun
The question plagues upon my mind
Should I fly, while there’s still time

There’s just one thing I’d ask of you
Stay by my side, while I see this through
Hear me now
Your name is on my lips

“When you hear that watchdog howlin’
Somebody’s round, Buddy someone’s round
When you hear that hoot owl cryin’
Somebody’s dying, oh someone’s dyin’”

Mother Marrow Asheville, North Carolina

The sound of Mother Marrow is elemental and powerful, with deep drones, complex acoustic finger-picking, trance-inducing melodies, and strident vocals. Bewitching and poignant, Mother Marrow's music and imagery channel the voices of the elements, and the beings that dwell between, beneath and beyond. A musical journey into the depths...these tunes have teeth and tenderness. ... more
