Jarboe - Wooden Idols lyrics
rate meShe 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
