lyrics

I will build a ladder that reaches the stars
Out of every arrow I wounded you with
I will dig a tunnel to the depths of your heart
With my bare- boned fingers

I will dance naked like a fool in the street
I will tear at my hair, and blacken my face
I will beat a path to your balcony
I will chase you down

When I find you, I will make you love me
I will be on my knees
With my palms up, like the dogwood
I am begging you please

I will light the foxes tails on fire
I will burn down every hiding place
I will track you like a bloodhound, thru hell and high-water
I will chase you down

I will weave you a shirt of star-thistle down
I will ruin my hands to keep you on the ground
or I’ll fly with the weight of the world on my shoulders
I will chase you down

When I find you, I'm gonna make you love me
I will be on my knees
With my palms up, like the dogwood
I am begging you please

I will feed you like a mother, I will lift up your chin
I will sit in the corner, with the cap on my head
I will tuck in my tail, and do what you said
But it’s all for nothing

I will lick up your blood, til the wounds have healed
I will carry the carcass of what I have killed
I will reach for you, in the night, in the dark
I will find nothing

I will find nothing

about

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
