Sumac (Oh These Fiery Heights! Oh My Burning Feet of Fire!), and: To The End of the Tunnel

[Chorus]
Halo halo halo
Halo around the sumac grove
Halo halo halo
Halo around the sumac grove
Lay down in the grove

[Verse 1]
You know this place like you got born
You know this wind that sweeps through this corridor
You can feel it all funneling in from the north
The familiar needles of the forest floor
All the times you were welcomed through its doors

[Chorus]
Halo halo halo
Halo around the sumac grove
Halo halo halo
Halo around the sumac grove
Lay down in the grove

[Bridge]
Here in the narrow valley as long as night
Here in the narrow valley as long as night
And just as white

[Verse 2]
The twisting of hair in the jaws of the snare
There is blood on the snow
There is a halo

The trees stand apart or nestled in groves
But in some dark place, they're all in rows
And the shadows are deep in the gathering glow
And you walk between them, the wind calls down
Oh the great open north where I’m bound

[Chorus]
Halo halo halo
Halo around the sumac grove
Halo halo halo
Halo around the sumac grove
Lay down in the grove

The trees are turning
I must trust in the dusk
I must trust in the way
You all release up through your eyes and your face
I must trust that fingers hold me
Though there are many miles till sleep

I must trust when we wake up
I often do not
We will see the same dawn, we will see the same dawn
We will travel on, we will travel on

[Chorus]
Halo halo halo
Halo around the sumac grove

[Outro]
Walking forward from the glowing entrance
There's a (?) of green behind it, (?)
There's a light on the red hills, a light on the red hills
A light on the red hills
So close now to the end of the tunnel
Water run, water run
To the end of the tunnel

Lurching forward in the gathering silence
And you look behind you at the light of line at the entrance
All the moments in the harbor now
All the boats are in the harbor now
Bind us in love
Bind us in
Build nests in the fog nests in the fog
The Moon followed me home
Nests in the fog nests in the fog
