Shadows Lyrics by H.C. McEntire

Every Acre

0

[Verse 1]
Flannel, flushed, between red oak stacks
Thicket's full of fawn and clover traps
Cornmeal rising high in cast iron pans
Cattails catching all the copperheads
[Chorus]
Walk your way into the river
Is it fever or surrender?
Like a quilt handing out patterns
Like shadows to measure
[Verse 2]
Ripping pages from the book of Psalms
Kettle's calling out a ransom song
I shave your legs 'til the daylight's gone
Slowly reaching for a little more
[Chorus]
Walk your way into the river
Is it fever or surrender?
Like a quilt handing out patterns
Like shadows in attics
[Bridge]
What elsе do (What else do)
I need to move (I need to movе)
To make room?
What else do (What else do)
I need to lose (I need to lose)
To make room?
What else new (What else new)
Could I choose (Could I choose)
To make room?
How else do (How else do)
I use this broom (I use this broom)
To make room?
[Outro]
Leave this place just like you found it
Posts of cedar, coils of wire
Tangled up inside the briar
Like shadows on fire
