An Angry Blade

I've recently discovered this song & fallen in love. Hearing it reminds me so much of my Southern adolescence.

I had two playgrounds growing up; the woods & the horse barn... The woods have always been my secret, holding my most vivid memories. Just down the road from my house, sanctified canopies envelop my innocence.



"Who left you so?

Striking a match for the keyhole
Dark as the evening laid
When he left you all alone

Turning to fade through the sawgrass
Tall as the only love
That you'll ever really know

Who left you so?

Grace is a gift for the fallen, dear
You're an angry blade & you're brave
But you're all alone

Turning a shade of an angel born
In a bramble ditch when the doors
Of heaven closed"
