Follaton Wood Lyrics & Chords By Ben Howard

Oh you
Screamed Hallelujah darling
startled all the sleeping Starlins on the wire
As we walked up the footpath through the fields
how the rain did reveal your heart
And the rope swing from the balance held the weight
shadows fall and a cold wind blows
And you said oh maybe we're just lost souls here
maybe oh everybody goes

Oh we were
Young oh ho we were young. Oh we were
Young oh ho we were young

Still don't, don't you forget
That rope you tied around your neck

Don't free you darling, oh oh ho oh ho oh
Don't free you darling, oh oh ho oh ho oh

And it took them three days to find you
tired torch lights and dog scents
Oh they led you down from the highest branches
cold eyes and frozen arms
And my my my your beauty was so dumbfounded
lace white dress and your hair as long as Follaton Woods
And the whole town just stood there crying looking at the darkness
for something wholesome and good

Oh good, oh ho oh oh
Oh good, oh ho oh oh

Still don't, don't you forget
That rope you tied around your neck

Don't free you darling, oh oh ho oh ho oh
Don't free you darling, oh oh ho oh ho oh

Hums

Morning white mist came across the plane
blue skies and rain
Oh and it was the strangest day
people taking cover people holding shame

Oh you'd left your
Heart oh ho oh ho oh. Oh you'd left your
Heart oh ho oh ho oh. Oh you'd left your
Heart oh ho oh ho oh. Oh you'd left your
Heart oh ho oh ho oh. Oh you'd left your
Heart oh
You woulda laughed your heart ah ah ah out
