Roots and Fear Lyrics
(Clementine sings)
You wake up before the sun
I turn over and you’re gone
Oh I’m losing sleep
Morning fog burns away
Mile-a-minute creeps our way
Oh the price is steep
Pour water on the wound
Oh what I’d do for you
But since you’ve been in the mine
The old you is hard to find
Oh and I can’t get through
Let’s get out, let’s get out
Of here my dear
There’s nothing holding us down
But roots and fear
I know you say, you wanna stay
But let’s be clear
There’s nothing holding us down
But roots and fear
Every night you come home late
Exhausted and sedate
Oh your losing years
You can barely get out the words
And I know I’m never heard
Before you disappear
Pour water on the wound
Oh what I’d do for you
But since you’ve been in the mine
The old you is hard to find
Oh and I can’t get through
Here our bloom won’t flower
Leave the trunk behind
What could I say
To sharpen the blade
I turn over and you’re gone
Oh I’m losing sleep
Morning fog burns away
Mile-a-minute creeps our way
Oh the price is steep
Pour water on the wound
Oh what I’d do for you
But since you’ve been in the mine
The old you is hard to find
Oh and I can’t get through
Of here my dear
There’s nothing holding us down
But roots and fear
I know you say, you wanna stay
But let’s be clear
There’s nothing holding us down
But roots and fear
Exhausted and sedate
Oh your losing years
You can barely get out the words
And I know I’m never heard
Before you disappear
Oh what I’d do for you
But since you’ve been in the mine
The old you is hard to find
Oh and I can’t get through
Leave the trunk behind
What could I say
To sharpen the blade
