Marissa Nadler - Box Of Cedar lyrics

Seven winter's past and gone

I once was young and I once was strong

Shannadee, a dee, a dee

Six fine times I've felt my knees

Buckle to your sweet release

Shannadee, a dee, a dee

Five times tried to conjure you

A letter or a note or clue

Shannadee, a dee, a dee

And I'm going to tell everybody

I'm know that I'm glad to see you

And I'm going to tell everybody

I'm know that I'm glad to see you

Even though you're comin' home

In a box of cedar

For four years you courted I

Your raven hair, your brittle bride

Shannadee, a dee, a dee

Three more times I tried to find - a

Lover to match your sweet kind

Shannadee, a dee, a dee

And I'm going to tell everybody

I'm know that I'm glad to see you

And I'm going to tell everybody

I'm know that I'm glad to see you

Even though you're come and gone

In a box of cedar

[sing-song]

What am I to fill these rooms

I make it want the drone of doom?

Shannadee, a dee, a dee

Seven winter's past and gone

I once was young and I once was strong

Shannadee, a dee, a dee
