We Were Evergreen - Daughters lyrics
rate meI slept like a villain and woke up inside you
The years that have vanished and swallowed up the dark
Somebody had finished the book I was writing
The ending was wrong and just went back to the start.
A carpet of women rippled with silence
They’re carving me with remainders from the ....
The lake where I swim in, I melted inside it
And sang to the limits, I've been there once before.
Daughters will be soon
Daughters will be soon
Daughters will be soon
Daughters will be soon
(We're not gonna make it)
Daughters will be soon
(We're not gonna make it)
Daughters will be soon
We're not gonna make it
(We're not gonna make it)
Daughters will be soon
(We won't make it in time)
Daughters will be soon
And fourteen our daughters, come fourteen on hats off
Their ... the bottom, and here they’re foreign, still.
They’ll hold to another, an intricate circle
The more you sip out of, the more you have to fill!
The barrel is leaking, the waters are seeping
The boulders away, it's all uphill for now
We have to ignore this and fly to the surface
It's too high above us, we won't make it in time!
Daughters will be soon
Daughters will be soon
Daughters will be soon
Daughters will be soon
(We're not gonna make it)
Daughters will be soon
(We're not gonna make it)
Daughters will be soon
We're not gonna make it
(We're not gonna make it)
Daughters will be soon
(We won't make it in time)
Daughters will be soon
