The black atlantic - Walked-on wood lyrics

Last night you were running errands with dad, in his car Tied the ropes round the fence And saved a ewe flipped on her back Come morning, the house was full of strangers You stood out, like knots on old, walked-on wood One bumped off the ladder Another moves a rung I can feel the summer in this current Behind your shoulders, he looms What can you say? When winter is lodged in your throat
