Matt Pond Pa Promise The Bite Lyrics

Promise The Bite Lyrics

Hay from the barn filled our mouths up with dust

Fanning the air, though we wouldn't have touched

I'm burned in all of six different ways

All for the fire and what they might say



Now I'm filling in the forest and I'm covered with trees

Too far beyond what seems a bit too much when light's been released



I've been dreaming, surprise, surprise

And from waiting the wells have all gone dry



Turned down the fire when we waved in the dusk

Promise the bite fills our stomachs with rust

I caught you down, way down in the field

Green hands and blind, it didn't seem real



Now I'm filling in the forest and I'm covered with trees

Too far beyond what seems a bit too much when light's been released



I've been dreaming, surprise, surprise

And from waiting the wells have all gone dry
