Lyrics

[00:10.67] Follow you down to the red oak tree
[00:18.50] As the air moves thick through the hollow reeds
[00:26.48] Will you wait for me there until someone comes
[00:34.56] To carry me, carry me down
[00:46.20] See I have not, I have not grown cold
[00:53.90] I have stole from men who have stole from those
[01:01.93] With their arms so thin and their skin so old
[01:09.63] But you are young, you are young, you are young
[01:21.93] Then somebody laughs like it's all just for hell
[01:29.48] As though we could not be saved from the depth of the well
[01:37.39] But the cloth that I make is a cloth you can sell
[01:45.62] To pay for the gossamer seed, ooh, ooh, oh
[02:28.21] Names get carved in the red oak tree
[02:35.54] Of the ones who stay and the ones who leave
[02:43.72] I will wait for you there with these cindered bones
[02:51.99] So follow me, follow me down
[02:59.10] Follow me, follow me down
[03:05.98] Follow me, follow me down
[03:12.90] Follow me, follow me down
