The Rise-Okkervil River

[00:21.40]All the riders on the rise [00:25.72]And circlers from every side. [00:30.86]All the riders on the rise [00:36.44]And circlers from every side. [00:40.38]Eyes up! [00:45.50]Light floods around in a yellow shadow [00:50.72]After night comes down [00:54.22] [00:57.64]I a ground-whirl fall [01:00.58]Into a dull dumb swipe. [01:02.26]And all's white. [01:04.89]Fire painting on the pines, [01:08.96]Hawks above the timber-line, [01:12.14]Water weeping from the ice. [01:14.65]Fire painting on the pines, [01:19.36]Water weeping from the ice. [01:25.24]Heat is lost. [01:28.42]Winter rocks into a lonely boxwood grove. [01:33.86]And quiet snowfall smothers all of the lawns [01:42.92] [01:43.67]Where the ladies coughed and cried, [01:48.01]"I don't want to be there when it's time!" [02:00.40] [02:24.96]The dying stag is on his side. [02:27.47]The hunters are hiding, up on high. [02:30.46]The wind is beating through the briars. [02:31.96]The dying stag is on his side. [02:32.90]The hunters are hiding, up on high. [02:33.97]The wind is beating through the briars. [02:36.04]Waves on the graves of the saints. [02:41.10]Dull grey as the sea pushes land away. [02:47.16] [02:51.65]Dull ache when you wake. [02:57.10]Grey smoke shows the way you walk [02:59.16]Down by when it's time. [03:02.91]I don't want to be there [03:08.35]When it's time to go down, [03:15.74] [03:16.63]Down, I don't want to go [03:19.99]Down there alone. [03:23.30] [03:27.08]Down, down, I don't want to go [03:35.63] [03:49.71]Down there alone.
