lyrics

The Crying Knot is staring at me
As the flames lick apart this knotty pine tree
A long, sad sky is weeping for me
As the clouds pour out their sympathy

Where are you now
That the air is curly and glistening?
Are you even listening
To this simple symphony?
Where are you now
That the firelight is flickering
And it’s you I’ve been missing
Now come home to me

Where are you now
That the air is curly and glistening?
Are you even listening
To this simple symphony?
Where are you now
That the firelight is flickering
And it’s you I’m missing
Now come home to me
