lyrics

The countries are here and the witch in the woods
has forgiven all the trains for taking everything they could
to the countries of the city people and the countries further on
where the shepherds of the oranges on the ladders in the sun
turn their backs to the ocean

The countries are here and they fight with their tongues
but your music it will cheat on you and run around with anyone
the banjo is a codex and there's rosin on the saw .
She braids her hair not knowing she sings her great grandmothers song
from north of hadrians wall

the countries are here and theyre black as the night
they float in on the ocean with their howling ghosts behind
your doctor keeps ganesh above the tv by the light
and for all the happy dead today a thousand different rites
all those weeping eyes

the countries are here and you my darling will disappear
