Whither Thou Goest Lyrics - Will Oldham

A sickroom hush, a holiday glow 

Whither thou goest I will go 

Whither thou wish inside, 

We will follow 

It is to be on one thing only 

On the road to God knows where 

Some are happy, some are late and 

Those wish death upon themselves 

Here is law, it is spoken in a growl choked 

Her paws have strayed in her sleeve 

And in my mouth her cloak 

The claws swift deny themselves a shallowness 

Which recalled the television or the room alone 

In which they preened unmoving fours 

My loving tongue 

Convolutions may arise 

The skull is echoing with webs 

And the third wave flushed the thing out 

Everybody jump and shout 

Scream my name above the din, 

Above the engine's carnal din 

Above the calves who bleed their lungs out 

Baa baa, moo moo, baa baa baa
