Lyrics Walnut City - Michelle Blades

With my naked feet I walked across the grass
To the place where I could set my thoughts to rest
Fledgling and swaddling, dressed by the wind
Vulnerable and honest, soft with sin

Sorry they made him cry
I know he tried to be brave
Sorry they made him lie
I know you are afraid

Sleep Kristina, the dawn is soon to come
And if you miss this one, there'll be another one
Raising and exposing the light from the trees
Isn't meant for everyone to see

If there are walnut cities, we'll pick them from the trees
Have ourselves a basket full of some to eat
Dressed by the shade of the trees
Help me to forget me, forget me

Dream Virginia, takes the courage to
Create an idea too large to pursue
Still I know you could, you feel it in your bones
Flowing through your heart in the red blood, red blood sewn

To walnut cities, we'll pick them from the trees
Have ourselves a basket full of some to eat
Dressed by the shade of the breeze
Help me to forget me, forget me

Wake up Kristina, the day is on its way
To meet the dusk and then melt away
The love's in other cities, the sea between me
Flowing through my heart and, and telling me

To the walnut cities, we will never go
Dressed under the shade of secrets we'll never know
Undo the kisses you left me with
I'll never run when it's you I missed
