Tall Grass

Tall grass whispers in the hills when the wind blows
You stand dreaming, deep in the willows
Two boys tumbling chasing your shadow
I see you smiling, you’re lost in the echoes
Follow me through tall grass
We could walk for hours
Hide me on this hillside
Maybe we won’t make our way back home
The tall grass calls and I am here alone
The hills have vanished the blackbird is silent
I see you stumbling, you’re off in the distance
Two boys whisper «father is dying»
The tall grass whithers, and the willows are crying
Follow me through tall grass
We could walk for hours
Hide me on this hillside
Maybe we won’t make our way back home
The tall grass calls and I am here alone
