Ten Degrees of Strange Lyrics by Johnny Flynn, Robert Macfarlane

Lost In The Cedar Wood

2021

[Intro]
One, two, three, four!
[Verse 1]
There's a black dog following hot on my trail
Set firm on hollowing my heart till it fails
Got nine days sleepless, seeking to keep this dog off my tail
Lugged this old bag of bones through seven time zones
Oh, I'm ten degrees of strange; I'm trying to change, trying to shake off my shadow
Still hoping to get out of the black dog's range
[Chorus 1]
So I run 'cause I must leave that dog in the dust
Gonna run like a river right down to the sea
Gonna run like the sap through the heart of a tree
I run 'cause I must leave that dog in the dust
[Verse 2]
Oh, you were the pebble and I was the ripple
You were the puzzle and I was the riddle
Together, together, got lost in the middle
You took signs from wonders and some of the meteors
In winter, the thunder, the trees split asunder
Wherever we wander
Now I'm stormbound on high ground, a Jack of the hedge
A wreck on the beach still trying to stay out of the black dog's reach
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, some days I long for the grace of an end
Dam up the river or dry out its bed
Bury me there, body and head
Far from the black dog's song
[Chorus 2]
Well, I run 'cause I must leave that dog in the dust
And I run like a river right down to the sea
Gonna run like the sap through the heart of a tree
I run 'cause I must leave that dog in the dust
Gonna run like a river right down to the sea
Gonna run like the sap through the heart of a tree
I run 'cause I must leave that dog in the dust
