about

This is the second single from folk band Mellifera, it features lush harmonies and music sounds!

lyrics

Stood still in the evening
and bark bound in the dawn
and now every season
Feels centuries long
A laurel tree a shrine to the empty years gone but
In wooden legs and green, green hands
My heart still beats and breaks for plans unknown

Crown of leaves lyres on the mountain tonight
I hope you find life and I feel alright
The lyres they sing on starlit nights

For you
and for you

I've seen the rise felt the fall
Watched it all fall inline

Feeling erode become old in time

As above so below
Fountains fade the false is so

As years go by you decent it grows

Crown of leaves laurel tree's and daphne
A shine to that, the empty years cannot be brought back again

Now dim your eyes a dim end
