lyrics
Way back on the mountain in our deeply forest hill where me and my true love we said I do
But nothing lasts forever in today’s world though it seems when there’s so much evil when there’s so much evil
When there’s a witch that is on your back makes it feel like the night will attack
You got a witch that is on your back makes me feel like a heart attack oh oh a heart attack One day that rain it started and it never stopped no it never stopped but now
I Knew with just one glance that dam it couldn’t hold one more drop I thought we would die together with your hand in mine your hand in mine
But you went back to Rosemary you went up on the hillside Way back in the mountains where Rosemary she waits for you
Where Rosemary she waits for you
I thought that when I awoke that would be my last day yodelayoo I thought when that river came it would carry me away I’m alive so I went back in the mountains I went up on the hillside I went to Rosemary’s where I’m killing both of you So now I made me a garden and I dug it in the morning But underneath that flower bush Rosemary waits for you well Rosemary waits for you I killed that witch that was on my back No more feel like the night will attack I killed that witch that was on my back Oh I feel like I can relax Thy god can relax thy god can relax
I've only just stumbled across Benjamin Tod, and I can say it has been quite a while since I've found something that I just have to play over and over and over again. Everything about this music from the lyrics, the inflection in his voice, and the sparse guitar just speaks to me and helps me through so many thoughts that go through my head on the day to day. Really happy I found this special album, and Benjamin. Thank you. Travis Button
I found this band when I was at my lowest point that I'd been in many years... they touched emotions I'd thought I had lost. thank you, for making true, soulful, heartfelt music. ryan jones
