Dead Meadow
At Her Open Door
Feathers (Matador 2005)
Dead Meadow are from D.C. and rock hard.
From the heights of the town
her handmaids will announce
her undying presence
within her seven-pillared house
Gifts of gold lie undisturbed
at her open door
Give until nothing's left then
wish to give more
Her words ring out all too clearly
in your ears
Until all else disappears
in a never ending night
she shines like boundless light
Though she calls quietly
know she'll take it all
All from me
It's alright it's all I need
Heaven up above waiting all the time
for you to make the age old climb
but sliding down takes no time
Gifts of gold lie undisturbed
at her open door
Give until nothing's left then
wish to give more
Her words ring out all too clear
Hers is the love for which rivers flow
men fall from ladders to the ground below
Then a raucous jam at the end on F#m, A kinda thing.
