Mark Erelli - Hemlock Grove lyrics

Your heart is dark as a hemlock grove Where the sun never shines and nothing grows Black as each feather in a murder of crows Your heart is dark As a hemlock grove Your heart is empty as winter in a tourist town The boardwalk deserted, all shuttered down And every bird has flown--southbound Your heart is empty As winter in a tourist town There is no resolution Try as I might I shun the darkness But I shy away from the light There's a hole inside I try to fill But you dig it Deeper still Love is crooked as the teeth in an old man's smile As the stones in the graveyard, as a country mile But I'll drive all night to get there if you let me stay awhile Love is crooked As the teeth in an old man's smile Your heart is empty As winter in a tourist town Your heart is dark As a hemlock grove
