Jarboe - Wooden Idols lyrics

rate me

She could tell you right now<br />

She could hold you near<br />

She could tell you right now<br />

But she couldn't shake your fear<br />

For this is not your answer<br />

Still you gamble the loss<br />

She was the devil's daughter<br />

But now she carries a cross.<br />

She suffered wooden idols<br />

She won't take them up again<br />

She suffered wooden idols<br />

They're like a promise whispered in the wind<br />

You're walkin, down the lonely highway<br />

But you know how to believe<br />

Just got to have her hold you that way<br />

Til your tear she will receive<br />

Still you wander on and on for miles<br />

Cos you just can't shake your beast<br />

Even as she gives you her tender smile<br />

Your endless searching will never cease<br />

You suffer wooden idols<br />

But take them up again<br />

You suffer wooden idols<br />

They're like a promise broken in the wind
