Will Oldham The Brute Choir lyrics

Cow call and they were all calling together
Describing the way to go
I never hurt someone so young

And I never held someone so sweet
Makes me want to holler with them
All the way down

All the way down
Their voices show the way
How to hold it back
See the end of the day

Shut their mouths, shut their mouths
And rip the pictures down
Withdraw, withdraw, you live so far from town


This is what makes a thing last
Wanna make what didn't happen, go
Take fear and call it lust

Let me go, lay in the snow
I cannot rest with so many singing
So many songs and what a way of singing

Their voices are bringing trees to their knees
With nothing to say when they're speaking
They're quiet, the choir, their voices go higher
The choir, the choir, their voices go higher
