"To The Oaks" lyrics

The Handsome Family Lyrics

"To The Oaks"

Your shiny phone will never know
No electric eye can ever show
The flashes in the branches
The whisper in the oaks
Nanana nana nanana na
A whisper in the oaks

Tonight at dusk
Drive off the road
Run from the lights
Down through the oaks
No shopping bags, no passwords
Down in the shady grove
Nanana nana nanana na
Down in the shady grove

Nanana nana nanana na
A whisper in the oaks

Phantoms fly the forest
Twist up dripping ferns
Spirits in the shadows
In root and dirt and bone
Nanana nana nanana na
Root and dirt and bone

Wake up father black bear
Scream oh mother crow
Whisper through the forest
Wake the world below
Nanana nana nanana na
Wake the world below
