| Lyrics |
we came in this world togetherlegs wrapped around each othermy cheek against my sister'swe were born like tangled vinewe lived along the riverwhere the black clouds never lingeredthe sunlight spread like honeyin my sister's tiny handsbut while picking sour applesin the wild waving grassessister stumbled in the briarand was bitten by a snakeevery creature casts a shadowunder the sun's golden fingerbut when the sun sinks past the waving grasssome shadows are dragged alongalone, I took to drinkingbottles of cheap whiskeyand staggering through the back woodskilling snakes with a sharpened stickbut still I heard her laughingin those wild waving grassesstill her tiny hands went splashingat the river's sparkling shoreso I took my rusty gas canand an old iron shovel
I set the woods to burningand choked the river up with stonesevery creature casts a shadowunder the sun's golden fingerbut when the sun sinks past the waving grasssome shadows are dragged along
