Ross Hollow - Nora Lyrics

Nora Nora watched the flames dance
Off the candle by the bed
Twisting and swaying deep in her mind
Singing dark stories in night

Stories came to life like a spark
Dashed against the stone below
Placed Roy in the oven deep
She can't take it no more

Found him wrapped in the daily news
Resting on the first rack of the stove
Woody screamed ma what have you done
While Nora stared blankly at the wall

Nora

Nora Nora spent years building
A home for all to stay
Birth, brick and starry nights
Brains slipping through the cracks

Suddenly or not so suddenly
The house found the flames
Nora stood in trembling quiet
As the whole thing burned to the ground

From the ashes rose a light
An ember and in eye
Don't you worry now my dear
All is good and well

Nora

One night Nora sang bitter songs
Spirits seemed to sink
Melody wrapped around her arm
Whispered one last goodbye

Clara stayed home from school
Neighbors heard shouts and yells
Yellow dress in flames, she ran
And Nora stared blankly at the sky

Clara was barely hanging on
Felt something drop away
She told Woody, to never cry
He held back tears till she was gone

Nora

All of the farms all burn around
All burn around
Just so that I can feel some warmth
