Blue Ridge Mountains
Fleet Foxes · Fleet Foxes [2008]
lie down with me my dear,
lie down.
Under stormy night, tell nobody.
My brother where do you intend to go tonight?
I heard that you missed your connecting flight,
to the blue ridge mountains, over near Tennessee.
You're ever welcome with me any time you like,
Let's drive to the country side,
leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes,
So no one gets worried, no.
So no one gets worried, no.
But Sean, don't get careless,
I'm sure it'll be fine.
I love you, I love you,
Oh brother of mine.
In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
Our good grandfather,
built a wooden nest.
And the river got frozen,
And the home got snowed in,
And the yellow moon glowed bright,
Till the morning light.
Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind,
In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
our good grandfather,
built a wooden nest.
And the river got frozen,
And the home got snowed in,
And the yellow moon glow bright,
Till the morning light.
Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind,
No.
