Songs Of Old Lyrics - Jesca Hoop

Turn the key in the iron lock 

Of the old oak door 

Lean into its passages 

With all my weight and enter 

Immediately my olfactory senses it's home 

Paper thin and paraffin 

With a glimmering of gold 

Marble hands are pouring water 

Silver wings delivering the chains? 

Streams of colored light make hallow home

Mamas singing the songs of old 

Mama's singing the songs of old 

Singing the rock of ages 

Though the gold is marred by red 

Singing the rock of ages 

Melt it down and make new things 

Singing the rock of ages 

Empires are made this way 

Singing the rock of ages 

Endless hopes and endless fears 

Polish this stone 

The deeper desire 

The fine of the grain 

This time I walk the stairway 

And turn the key in a cellar door 

I want to know why 

Photos 

All these stories never spoken 

Danced or drawn or sung or written 

How we built this temple song by song 

Mama's singing the songs of old 

Mama's singing the songs of old 

Singing the rock of ages 

Though the gold is marred by red 

Singing the rock of ages 

Melt it down and make new things 

Singing the rock of ages 

Empires are made this way 

Singing the rock of ages 

Mama's singing the songs of old 

Singing the rock of ages 

Though the gold is marred by red 

Singing the rock of ages 

Melt them down and make new things 

Singing the rock of ages 

Empires are made this way 

Singing the rock of ages
