Moon Over Hushwell

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I met you by the bend where the river held its breath Your coat was full of rain but the road was dry as bone You smiled like you knew my name before I spoke a sound And the dogs went quiet when you turned to face me [Pre-Chorus] You touched my sleeve and the air went thin I saw the dark move back like it had let you in [Chorus] You came from the hushwell from the hushwell, baby You came from the hushwell and you called me lately One cold hand, one true sign (come closer) You came from the hushwell and you stayed in my mind [Verse 2] You never blinked once when the church bell struck The porch light died out when you crossed my yard There was frost on the glass in the middle of June And my heartbeat knocked like a fist in a drawer [Pre-Chorus] You leaned in close said my fear was plain Then the moon went white and split the lane [Chorus] You came from the hushwell from the hushwell, baby You came from the hushwell and you called me lately One cold hand, one true sign (come closer) You came from the hushwell and you stayed in my mind [Bridge] Now sometimes at night I hear that same refrain Three taps on the pane then the room goes still If I open the door will you stand there again? Or just leave your cold name on the window sill? [Final Chorus] You came from the hushwell from the hushwell, baby You came from the hushwell and you called me lately One cold hand, one true sign (still beside me) You came from the hushwell and you stayed in my mind
