lyrics

I woke alone / blackwater wood
I woke alone / blackwater wood
cattail and mud / blood on the sand
black feather lay / where white dove did land
my lord below / made me understand
my lord above holds / no helping hand

my shadow moans/ blackwater wood
my shadow moans/ blackwater wood
calling my name / well understood
skull in the flame / black sap on the wood
my lord below / bid me stay for good
my lord above / it's well understood

hear me hear me / in the evening rain
I want you, want you / do you feel the same?
It’s easy, easy / if you say it’s so
It’s hard it’s so hard / when you tell me no
when you tell me no

I do go down / blackwater wood
I do go down to / blackwater wood

I lay me down / blackwater wood
I lay me down / blackwater wood
deep in the dirt / sapling tree grows
up through the earth / and out through my bones
my lord below / you're no lord to me
my lord above / you’re lower than he

see me, see me / lonesome but alive
I drank the rain up / just to keep you dry
I made my home / where the sun don’t ever shine
I want to go / any place is fine
any place is fine

I made my home / blackwater wood
I woke alone in / blackwater wood
my shadow moans / in blackwater wood
I lay me down / in black water wood
