Edith Grove & Bottle Tree: Music

Sway of the Fray

(Edith Grove & Bottle Tree)
2009
Amanda C. Kooser
did you get lost in the sway of the fray
did the sun crash down in the muddy river wake
the click of an empty
the blood in your ear
the days just slide by like nothing

come back to the rust and iron town
one shot to bring the deer down

there's red lights on wires above your head
black smoke ribbons sliver in the air
remember the sight
of the towering tree line
the cold air burning on your tongue

come back to the rust and iron town
one shot to bring the deer down

we bow our heads into the rising wind
make way for the soul of one abandoned

come back to the rust and iron town
one shot to bring the deer down
