Where the Old Ones Go

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Barefoot on the cold stone

I trace the runes my grandmother knew

Moss between my toes

The river hums a name I almost knew

Pre-Chorus

Older than the oaks we planted

Older than the frost

Deeper than the well we drank from

Older than the frost

Chorus

Sing me home sing me home

Through the birch and the bramble I roam

Sing me home sing me home

Every root is a road every road is a home

Post-Chorus

Hey-ya hey-ya

Hollow and low

Hey-ya hey-ya

Where the old ones go

Verse 2

Ash on my two palms

Smoke curls upward like a question asked

My sister keeps the flame

My brother tends the door the seasons masked

Pre-Chorus

Older than the hills we buried

Older than the frost

Deeper than the song we carry

Older than the frost

Chorus

Sing me home sing me home

Through the birch and the bramble I roam

Sing me home sing me home

Every root is a road every road is a home

Post-Chorus

Hey-ya hey-ya

Hollow and low

Hey-ya hey-ya

Where the old ones go

Bridge

Feed the fire feed the fire

Let the embers rise and wander

Feed the fire feed the fire

We are older than we know

Chorus

Sing me home sing me home

Through the birch and the bramble I roam

Sing me home sing me home

Every root is a road every road is a home

Post-Chorus

Hey-ya hey-ya

Hollow and low

Hey-ya hey-ya

Where the old ones go
