Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] Who heard the townsfolk undercloak? Who heard the elders half-joke? Who left them ditchside chalk-marked? Who found them hedgerow dog-barked? [Pre-Chorus] Drag it roadside. Mark it clearly. Leave at midnight. Come back early. [Chorus] Moon-low Mud-rising Blackwood Path-winding Root-deep Ground-hollow Footfall None follow Back Back Get thee behind me [Verse 2] Who filled the low ground cart-load? Who packed it foot-flat hard-road? Who watched it roadside rain-soaked? Who dragged it field-cross wheel-broke? [Pre-Chorus] Lay the boards down. Make it steeper. Ask no neighbour. Wake no sleeper. [Chorus] Moon-low Mud-rising Blackwood Path-winding Root-deep Earth-turning Cold banks Brush-burning Back Back Get thee behind me. [Middle Eight] Ask the eldest. Leave the same way. Take the same road. Bolt the doorway. [Verse 3] Who watched the first rain pool-wide? Who walked the long way field-side? Who drew the short path straight-cut? Who took the long road gate-shut? [Pre-Chorus] Bar the window. Tread more lightly. Past the churchyard. Come back nightly. [Final Chorus] Moon-low Mud-rising Blackwood Path-winding Root-deep Mark-hidden Gate-shut Road-forbidden Back Back Back Back Back
