Daphne - Lia Ices, Justin Vernon

Daphne in the wood, you’ll become the wood

Fire in his eye has gone and fueled your flight so high

Over the river rocks, the wind will carry thee

Call on nature now, for she’ll keep you safe

From your own beauty

A heavy numbness seizes her into bark

Feet so swift to root, arm to branch and hair to leaf

Woman to tree

A heavy numbness seizes her into bark

Feet so swift to root, arm to branch and hair to leaf

Woman to tree

And in the end it’s the difference of the spirit and the matter

It’s the difference of the lover and the flyer

Don’t it make you want to cry?

It’s nothing less, nothing less between the worldly

And the one self

All this breathing and the truth that’s in your last breath

Don’t it make you want to cry?

So fly, fly and we’ll wear you like a leaf crown

Fly cause your truth is in the solid ground

Fly

Yeah, fly, fly and we’ll wear you like a leaf crown

Fly cause your truth is in the solid ground

Fly
