lyrics

Where blood has fallen on cedar
That's where you're likely to meet her
Wild eyes, red as strawberry
Here lies the sugarplum fairy

Soft wings that never cast shadows
Bear you away to bright meadows
No pain that she can't bury
Cold flame, the sugarplum fairy

"Rise," she sighs
Oh, with the woods in her eyes
"There now, don't cry. Fly."

Dark wounds that no one can measure
They'll fade away at her pleasure
No weight that she can't carry
It's never too late for the sugarplum fairy

Oh, my bleeding hearts
She's prepared a place for us
(Somebody's watching over you, over you)
Oh, my smothered sparks
She's prepared a place for us
(Somebody's weeping over you, over you)
Oh, my homesick braves
She's prepared a place for us
Underneath a free and fearsome sky

"Rise," she sighs
Oh, with the woods in her eyes
"There now, don't cry. Fly with the woods in your eyes."
"Alive," she cries
Oh, with the woods in her eyes
"There now, don't cry. Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly"

about

Thomas Kercheval

Thomas Kercheval plays hard-edged, anthemic, celtic-tinged, electric folk music with big guitars. Lots of big guitars. That is all.
