Shenandoah Shakedown

Lyrics

There's a crack in the altar
 Pale light through the break
 Like crooked teeth
 And I couldn't fault her
 Knowing what was at stake
 Nothing worth underneath
 And the hills move like lungs, the river speaks in tongues
 And I am not alone
 ♪
 Naked Shenandoah
 Shaking me down
 Banks lined with foam
 I saw you trembling
 All wrapped up in a towel
 Afraid to go home
 And the sky frozen black
 Covered my wayward tracks
 As I left to get stoned
 ♪
 Sap of recollection
 Bleeds to the ground
 And hardens the soil
 Fights of temporal affection, poison the vein
 And loosen the coil
 And if I could find a use for things, I cannot help but do
 I might one day atone
 ♪
 I'm coming down from your mountain
 I wanna kick in my own door
 Regain my native sight
 Shed these worries unfounded
 I'll leave them, there on the floor
 In the blue television light
 And the wolves are closing in
 The blood runs cold and thin
 And the moon shines bright as bone
 And the hills move like lungs
 The river speaks in tongues
 And I am not alone
