Amber and Barley

Verse 1

Amber beads break on the kitchen stones

Wooden spoons drum upon old bleached bones

Father was a singer

Brother is a ringer

Pre-Chorus

Stars turn white

Trees bend right

Old ones invite

Chorus

Call the spirits from the hill

Call them till the lake stands still

Grandfathers jumping the fire

Burning up every desire

Spinning circles in the mud

Red cider in my blood

Verse 2

Woolen skirts fly like a heavy hawk

Copper rings jingle when the grandmas walk

Stomp the barley down

Heel against the ground

Pre-Chorus

Sky gets loud

Lose the crowd

Head is bowed

Chorus

Call the spirits from the hill

Call them till the lake stands still

Grandfathers jumping the fire

Burning up every desire

Spinning circles in the mud

Red cider in my blood

Bridge

Oak bark on the palm

Morning brings the calm

Sun comes for the farm

Chorus

Call the spirits from the hill

Call them till the lake stands still

Grandfathers jumping the fire

Burning up every desire

Spinning circles in the mud

Red cider in my blood
