Daphne Lyrics by The Forgetmenauts

0

Grandmother Daphne sits in her tent
The tree of her spine all twisted and bent
Roots from her feet stretch straight to the door
Twisting and winding, what are they for?

Oh-whoah, I pity you grandmother
Oh-whoah, I pity your father
Who shouldered his daughter with laurel bark heavy
And planted her feet in the ground

Apollo, he loved her with all of his might
Sang like a bird just to see her take flight
Dashed past the crickets, and over the hill
A moth to a flame, a dog to a kill

Oh-whoah, I pity you grandmother
Oh-whoah, I pity your father
Who shouldered his daughter with laurel bark heavy
And planted her feet in the ground

A baron wants something different from all of us
He values the things that make us our own
So this woman he pried from her sleep by the river
And made her a monster of wood, flesh, and bones

Oh-whoah, I pity you grandmother
Oh-whoah, I pity your father
Who shouldered his daughter with laurel bark heavy
And planted her feet in the ground

Oh-whoah, I pity you grandmother
Oh-whoah, I pity your father
Who shouldered his daughter with laurel bark heavy
And planted her feet in the ground
