Tall Tales lyrics

Tall tales unfolding

A great sky to keep your secret safe with me

Deep winter beholding

What these brothers will tell of, come the spring

Well, is it true

I am you?

Oh, is it true?

But dark dreams bring the morning

Still, her whisper, the pillow folding in

But this child will remember

How his father is holding him

Well, is it true

I am you?

Oh, is it true?

And with each crackle of the fire

The wood is speaking

The flames dancing in her eyes

All the cold is pressing in

With the raven’s heaving

The seeds of laughter from a child

Fall all asleep now!

The dogs are dreaming

Into the embers cast your weary eyes

Come the morning

Her sweet smoke will wake you

Breathing you to life

Tall tales unfolding

The great sky to keep your secret safe with me

Deep winter beholding

What sweet brothers will tell of, come the spring

Oh, yes it’s true

I am you

Oh, yes it’s true

I am you
