Witchy Park Lyrics

With the skeleton frame laid out
Its shame was just to stay awake all night
Was it the last thing on your mind
Smoke travels along the thoughts
Of the old tree that could be falling down on us
So you could say you tried

But the dancer gave you no reward
You were standing on your broken toes all night
Witchy park done us wrong this time
We were talking like we knew the words
You could only guess can't you see the mess we're in
Witchy park done us wrong again
Witchy park done us wrong again

Summer is through some other arms around me
Like sheets would grow too full
Windows are fast to close
The suns gonna come down faster than the words reply
We talk and talk all night
In the morning it wont sound wrong

But the dancer gave you no reward
You were standing on your broken toes all night
Witchy park done us wrong this time
We were talking like we knew the words
You could only guess can't you see the mess we're in
Witchy park done us wrong again
Witchy park done us wrong again

Tricky one, the start of line 2 and 4 in the 1st verse are hard to hear, as are lines 1,2 and 6 in verse 2. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hMTKTLSqUo for a great version. NOW IF ANYONE CAN TELL ME THE LYRIC TO THE SECOND PART OF THS TRACK (TOMORROW WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF)!! AND IT'S ONLY GOT ONE REPEATED LINE! ...IT'S TIME TO LEARN TO COPE, LEARN THE COLD, LEARN THE COLD?!? HELP.

Thanks for posting this lyrics iangurteen! I have been waiting for someone to attempt to post these. Something small that needs changed is I believe it's "But the dancer gave you no reward when you were standing on your broken toes all night." Small fix but I am pretty sure that is it. As for the second part, I've been trying to figure out the repeated line forever. This is what I think it is, but this is a total guess too.

Tomorrow will take care of them It's time to learn the cold again

Tomorrow will take...

Hi, thanks for your comments, I must get into Carissa someday! I think you're right about "standing" rather than "stepping" - confusingly there is a beautiful live version at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hMTKTLSqUo where he clearly sings "stepping!" - I'm seeing them live next friday in London, can't wait!

Nice! I have seen them 3 times. I went to the cd release show in Seattle for the self titled album and saw them 2 other times in Cleveland. They are always a treat. I would definitely recommend Carissa's Wierd for sure though if you are a Grand Archives fan. It's definitely slower, and darker, but the combination of Mat Brooke and Jen Ghetto vocals is just amazing. If you want to check any of it out I have the whole discography. E-mail me or something and I can figure out a way to send it to you. delpchris@gmail.com

the last two lines of the first verse sound like this to me:

smoke travels along the thoughts of the oak tree could be falling down on us

Hello (again) well I think you're right about 'along' rather than 'or longer'. Smoke rather than small? You're probably right there too although I'm not 100% sure, but I'll change that too. As for the second line, there's definitely a "that" in there, partly covered by the backing singer saying "old tree" - I really think it is OLD, so I'll leave that line the same. Thaks for your contibutions, I was thinking I was the only listener out there!!
