The Ballad of Buttermilk Falls Lyrics by Sean Rowe

The Salesman and the Shark

2012

[Verse 1]
The willow, still she cries that lonely song
It's been so long
And the stars are the same stars with the same truth
And in that river's secret, still shivering
The reckoning
That came like thunder on September 1st
[Verse 2]
Four of them go blind with confidence
It was in their prints
Running like the ground was made of fire
Who could know the terrible deliverance?
The consequence
Was hidden under the water's diamond eyes
[Verse 3]
Three of them are still
Waiting for a sign, they drop the line
Filling with a horrible numb
The moment whipped against the rocks
It was deafening and threatening
To grow them up forever
[Bridge]
Are you Daniel?
Your signature on the breeze?
Your memory has watched me
But am I a fool to think you would wait in this place
[Verse 4]
The willow takes its place
And it gives her arm, her strongest arm
To the hold the rope that was never meant to kill
Oh, the current ate him like a serpent vanishing, vanishing
Nothing turns a mother from her will
Nothing turns a mother from her will
Nothing turns a mother from her will
