Bugbear Lyrics by Wickerbird

The Leaf Maker

2015

Mama
I'm a fool for all I've done
Left her body
At the dawning
Of the cairn and carried on

And Papa
Know that we can't tarry long
Show no folly
In the stalling
Of the ferryman, Charon

And oh-

I know not what I'm for
But my face by the fireside warms
Alone in what I've known
But my faith in the firelight grows
And a face by the fireside shows


Mama
I'll find my arbiter alone
In waters seething
Timber teeming
Not the leaves of ancient tomes


And papa
I'll write my likeness in the stones
But never cheating
Something fleeting
As evеry one of them erodеs

And oh-

I know not what I'm for
But my face by the fireside warms
Alone in what I've known
But my faith in the firelight grows
As I gaze on the mother of crows
