Big Thief – Promise is a Pendulum Lyrics

Artist: Big Thief
Song: Promise is a Pendulum

I could never tell before were the grass overgrown
I’ve never been over the river, with a mouthful of foam
Could never bear of the winter, with her cold tears of glitter
I’ve been listening to the riddle, the acorn tree cries

Listen to the white birch, the paper she dries
Listening to {front door?}, listening to the fire smoke
I could nevеr tell you now that I had often said beforе
Because promise is a pendulum, just swinging at the door

And I’m not saying I’m not jealous, or scared anymore
I’m just saying
I could never make the rainbow, or any kind of flower
I never make an earthworm, or meteor shower

Could never build an earthworm, could never make the earth turn
I’ve been listening to the laughing of the fox down {true?}
{Clouds sing?} to the listening of the moss to a snail
Ooo

The shimmer of the beech leaves, is the wind on the big {scene / sea?}
I could never tell you now, but I had often said before
Because promise is a pendulum, just hanging at the door
And I’m not saying I’m not jealous, or scared anymore

I’m just saying
I could never build a shadow between you cheek and your eye
I could never make a freckle or the warm breath you sigh
And a canopy, it lashes with the softness of {ashes?}

Are they listening to the memory, the way that it was
Been listening to the echo of wise {empty cup?}
Listening to the echo, telling me to let go
I could never tell you now, but I had often said before

Because promise is a pendulum, just swinging at the door
And I’m not saying I’m not jealous or scared anymore
I’m just saying
