Hussain Peel Lyrics - Watershed - Opeth

Title spelling: Hessian Peel 

Will the children cry 

When their mother dies 

And in the autumn of their lives 

Will they feel the same? 

[reversed lyrics 2:04-2:22] 

The longing for me 

Comin' down like hail 

Why did you leave me? 

Come here inside 

And tell me how 

How in my final days 

You found around 

Night comes on 

The signal for us to end our lives 

To wait beneath the watches 

And you wait forever 

The night comes high 

Your weakness 

Storing trace on your eyes 

So I left you alone 

We all left you alone 

[reversed lyrics 7:20-7:24] 

Lock the children away from home 

They're no longer your reason why 

Seeking death adders with a dagger 

Skin is marked by the years of trial 

You felt abandoned in a fog of flesh 

Saying your prayers for the dead 

Awaiting the face of the moon to ascend 

You follow the sound in your head 

In your head
