Jolene

[Verse 1]

Cut to the interior

Of a spacious modern house

Open plan, open windows

White walls, wooden furniture

Moss green shutters

[Chorus 1]

A breeze from outside

Translucent curtains

The smell of conifers and summer rain

[Verse 2]

The two of you are lying in a bed

Covered with soil and dried leaves

The room is filled with light

You're sleeping peacefully

The wind scattering your auburn hair

[Pre-Chorus]

But she's been awake for hours

The house is changing

[Chorus 2]

She is terrified

But you've never felt more at ease

Everything is so familiar

The new ballroom

The new fourth floor

The new iron staircase

[Bridge]

Last night, looking for the bathroom

She walked into a wall that wasn't there the night before

And broke her nose

Last week, she tried to leave

But she couldn't find the way back to town

Dirt roads endlessly branching (Dirt roads endlessly branching)

[Verse 3]

Now she says you've been talking in your sleep

But she won't say what she heard

She's begging you to stop

Before there's nothing of the old house left

[Chorus 3]

But it's too late

It's out of your hands now
