lyrics

House on the hill in the candlelit bog
She sings in the attic a ritual song
The heat of the summer is dancing and dripping along
Bugs are so loud and the nights are so long

She knows it's ending
Casting the shadows back to do her bidding
Scratching her symbols on willow trees
She knows it's ending

As winters finger inches on through the meadows and pastures on it's way to you
A funny feeling comes along that it's not gunna make it
get it's thumb on you
Cuz you know
You're petting the bunyip starting something new

As winters finger inches on and no it's not gunna make it get a hold of it
You think you got it oh but no, no it's really not out there get control of it
Cuz you know, you're petting the bunyip starting something new.

Hung like a shroud over native lands
Lupine sickness sweats your weathered skin
Crack of the hip at the moonless grin
Of your friends and anxious freezing kin
But the woods dont care what your mind says
You go deeper in there quite a distance
By the time anyone looks you in the eyes again there's almost nothing there.

They see you, swallowed in the gates
Didnt need you anymore, thought it too late
I swallow myself in the fallen leaves
Did it inside of your head
Asked you so bluntly the ones you loved
Didnt know what you had said

I didnt think twice about what I had
Found it inside of your bed
Asked you so bluntly the ones you loved
Didnt know what you had said.
