Wildflower and Barley - Hozier ft. Allison Russell

Springtime in the country

Each time I'm shocked by the light

The world lyin' fallow and you are apart from me

Everythin' in my vision is movement and life

Riverboat, wheelbarrow, wildflower and barley

Springtime in the country I can smell summer on its breath

Low and harrowed lie the fields and the heart of me

Everythin' in my vision, departure, and death

Riverboat, wheelbarrow, wildflower, and barley

(The healers) This year, I swear it will be buried in actions (Are healin')

This year, I swear it will be buried in words (The diggers are diggin' the earth)

Some close to the surface, some close to the casket

I feel as useful as dirt, put my body to work

Mm (Oh-oh-oh)

Mm (Oh-oh-oh)

Springtime in the city

The canal banks are empty again

The grass cryin' out to be heated by bodies

The streets for the laughter of young women and men

Canal boat and trolley, wildflower and barley

(The healers) This year, I swear it will be buried in actions (Are healin')

This year, I swear it will be buried in words (The diggers are diggin' the earth)

Some close to the surface, some close to the casket

I feel as useful as dirt, unreal unearth

(The healers) This year, I swear it will be buried in actions (Are healin')

This year, I swear it will be buried in words (The diggers are diggin' the earth)

Some close to the surface, some close to the casket

I feel as useful as dirt, put my body to work

Mm (Oh-oh-oh)

Mm (Oh-oh-oh)

Springtime from my window

Another month has not much longer now

The sun hesitates more on each evening's darkenin'

Would all things God allows remain above ground

Like grief and sweet memory, wildflower and barley
