♩
I can hear the song of the hartebeest
As their hooves drum to a hunger
I can sing a fear or a malady
As I drown deep in the wonder
Where do we go
When the river’s running slow
Where do we run
When the cats kill one by one
♩
Little rabbit
Little rabbit
Little rabbit
Hazel beneath our claws
While we wait for cerulean to cry
Unsettled ticks run through time
Enough for the hunt to go awry
Where do we go
When the river’s running slow
Where do we run
When the acres turn green and the cats kill one by one

Run run run run run

Harpy Hare
Where have you buried all your children?
Tell me so I say
Harpy Hare
Where have you buried all your children?
Tell me so I say
All the arrows that you've stolen
Split in half, now bum and broken
Like your heart that was so eager to be hid
You can't keep them all caged
They will fight and run away
Mother, tell me so I say
(La la la)
Harpy Hare
Where have you buried all your children?
Tell me so I say
Harpy Hare
Where have you buried all your children?
Tell me so I say
Forest walls and starry ceilings
Barren curtains that you're weaving
Like the stories that you keep inside your head
She can't keep them all safe
They will die and be afraid
Mother, tell me so I say
(Mother, tell me so I say)
Harpy Hare

She can't keep them all caged
They'll be far and fly away
Mother, tell me you will stay
We'll be far and fly away

And the Hound

A rake of claws against a mirror
Grazing pelts we all once wore
A kindling of a swordless bloodshed
The creaking of a voiceless door
Where does a mind like yours wonder?
When it’s sung to sleep
Mind the clamours of the restless bidders
Before you choose to weep
And the Hound
Is humming you
A lie, a lullaby
Stuck in the middle of a forest made of
Flesh and bones and they’re all scared of
A lost little boy who has lost his heart
Fear’s not enough, they have to
Tear him apart
Follow the scent of iron sinking
Deeper into corpses rotting
But they can’t hear you talk, talk, talk
About every little thing
Every little thing
Every
And the Hound
Is humming you
A lie, a lullaby
It clicks and it clatters in corners and borders
And they will never
Hear me here listen to croons and a calling
I’ll tell them all the
Story, the sun, and the swallow, her sorrow
Singing me the tale of the Harpy and the Hare
And the Hound
Is humming you
A lie…
♩
And the Hound
Is humming you
A lie, a lullaby
And the Hound
Hums
A lie, a lullaby
And the Hound
Hums
A lie, a lullaby
And the Hound is humming
And the Hound is howling
And the Hound is humming
You
And the Hound
(A lie, A lullaby)
And the Hound
Is humming you
A lie
A lullaby…

The ground wrings an unknown strain
Hear the prattle of the birds flying our way
The trees sway to the young one’s piping
Will you stay to listen to me sing?
Seeker, do you ever come to wonder
If what you’re looking for is within where you hold
Will you leave a trail for them to follow a path
You’ll soon forget
♩ Home
How do I begin
When the roof is ever changing
Neath the grove is a heart
That’s still in slumber
You can remain
Will you stay and tell a tale
Would you want to tear it down
To see better
♩
Foolish dreamer
Be awakened
Do not walk to where you were
To where you’re staring
Listen to the willow, listen to the sound
Listen to my voice, you should hear me now
Be still
Be steady
And be…
How do you begin
When the earth is ever changing
Neath the grove is a heart
That’s still in slumber
You can remain
Will you stay and tell a tale
Or would you want to tear it all down
To see better
Home
Is where we are now
Home
Is where you are
Home
Is where I am standing
Where I’ll be staying
Forever…
Now
♩
How do I begin
When the roof is ever changing
Neath the grove is a heart
That’s still in slumber
You can remain
Will you stay and tell a tale
Would you want to tear it down

When the roof is ever changing
Neath the grove is a heart
That’s still in slumber
You can remain
Will you stay and tell a tale
Would you want to tear it down
To see better
How do I begin
When the roof is ever changing
Neath the grove is a heart
That’s still in slumber
You can remain
Will you stay and tell a tale
Would you want to tear it down
To see better

This album is single-handedly getting me through my seasonal depression. Captures the energy of the season perfectly, and with a nice hopeful message to remind myself to keep going. <33

The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since.
