Crown and Clay | Ansel Kerr

Light stuck too high in the branches, and what it takes to bring it down into the roots. Crown and Clay by Ansel Kerr. From the EP, out 14 August. Listen:   / ansel-kerr   houselights.cc #IndieFolk #Folk #LyricVideo LYRICS Once it seemed so right Braving angry winds Trying for the light Where the crowns begin Dry roots waiting 'Neath a tangled vine Yes, you reach for the sunlight if you try While the oldest masks entwine We reached for the warm spring rays Now rooting in the clay Oh please say, when does the striving cease? Now you face the storm In a silent wood Waiting for the warm Fear was understood While the shell is brown And the bark is rough As the rain falls deep and moving down And you know that you fought enough We reached for the warm spring rays Now rooting in the clay Oh please say, when does the striving cease? When leaves touch the sky In a peaceful air Watch the golden sap fall downward Down to where the soil is bare Can you learn to laugh Can you learn to cry Will you come to trust it now Let the tired old ego die? We reached for the warm spring rays Now rooting in the clay Oh please say, when does the striving cease? Made with AI tools. Arranged, edited and cut by hand. Disclosed because it should be.
