According To Folk Lore

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Old women whisper at the well

They say the forest drinks the rain

I was raised on every fable told

And sworn to tell the truth again

Chorus

According to folk lore

The moon still keeps her promises

According to folk lore

The river never lies

Oh the elders sang of golden roots

That crown the mountain side

Verse 2

My father swore the storm would pass

If we fed the stones their grace

I carried salt from door to door

And bowed before the open space

Chorus

According to folk lore

The moon still keeps her promises

According to folk lore

The river never lies

Oh the elders sang of golden roots

That crown the mountain side

Bridge

And if the old tales falter

The spinning wheel goes on

We hum the songs our mothers knew

Until the dark is gone

Gone

Gone

Chorus

According to folk lore

The moon still keeps her promises

According to folk lore

The river never lies

Oh the elders sang of golden roots

That crown the mountain side
