This song is a demo version of would be released on Adrianne Lenker’s solo album of the same name. Given that this song is performed by the entire band here, rather than the solo guitar on the official release, the song is much more rock than folk, but still carries the same arcane air.
[Verse 1]
Try and get some rest
I'll do the rest
Think to what the roses find
With the arms of passion
This is how we fashion
Wars remind
In the hour I loved you
Like a dream it was true
In the base of my pine
[Chorus]
Wilderness
Vast abyss
Will we ever kiss?
[Verse 2]
In her mother's fortress
She was brushing horses
Manes and tails, flicking flies
Naked as the window
Baby, if it's real so
No need to apologize
[Chorus]
Wilderness
Vast abyss
Will we ever kiss?
[Outro]
Blood is on her shoulder
Love is on the boulder
In the eyes, in the eyes
Love never leaves
Love is the leaves
In the sky, in the sky
