Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse] Old Yia Yia in the pines Bare feet black wine Rust on the gate to her crooked door Kids dare each other then run Eyes in the jar by the stove Bones in a bucket on the floor [Prechorus] They say she talks to the rain They say your name and she knows your shame [Chorus] Witch in the woods Old Yia Yia What did you bury what did you burn Witch in the woods Old Yia Yia You twist the world till the world turns You twist the world till the world turns [Verse 2] She laughs at the church bell song Holds it in her palm till it bends Five black hens on the windowsill Waiting for a word from her tongue She spits in the dirt and the fever breaks Smiles when the fever comes back again [Prechorus] They say she eats bad luck They say your fear gets stuck [Chorus] Witch in the woods Old Yia Yia What did you whisper over our birth Witch in the woods Old Yia Yia You shake the sky shake the earth You shake the sky shake the earth [Bridge] Is it love or a curse when she calls you child Is it mercy or a knife when she says your fate Smoke in her hair old stories in her teeth You knock on her door Or you wait [Outro] Old Yia Yia in the pines Fire in a chipped tin cup She raises one dead twig hand And every dark thing Looks up
