I Fell Lyric by The Handsome Family

I Fell Lyric

by The Handsome Family

Lyric:



There's A Mountain North Of Winnipeg

Buried Under Ice

And As The Black Clouds Roll Above

White Pines Crack Like Glass



Walking Under Those Swaying Trees

Branches Bowed With Ice

I Wanted One To Fall On Me

To Pin Me In The Snow



That Silver Forest Reminded Me Of You

And How I Kissed You

And I Fell Down To The Bottom Of A Well



Down A Dirt Road West Of El Paso

Behind A Burning Barn

I Stumbled On A Horse's Bone

Bleaching In The Sand



But When I Reached Down To Touch The Skull

Underneath My Hand

A Stream Of Orange Lizards Poured Out

From The Bone-white Mouth



That Empty Mouth Reminded Me Of You

And How I Kissed You

And I Fell Down To The Bottom Of A Well
