Through The Cracks

from Oracle Bone by Zac Brennan

lyrics

THROUGH THE CRACKS

Through blackberry thickets of thorns
Past shadowed caves and ancient trees
And far beyond the silhouetted hilltops
I search for you
I lay torchlight before my feet
But the darkness is closing in on me
Because you are lost and now I am lost too
With only a chance
From a hut so small
But ten foot square
Who could be there?

An old shaman answers the door
Inside he has every remedy
He says ‘if you like I will read your future
What do you want to know?’
He unwraps the dragon bone
And scratches symbols in the shoulder blade
‘O I just want to know will she ever come back to me?’
So into the fireplace it goes
And the blushing coals
Call forth a crack
He says ‘Go home
She will come back.’

I hope you don’t fall through the cracks
Because I know I will pay the price
No man ever steps
In the same river twice
