I remember when I was young, I was fickle you were so strong I remember trees as they called your name Mother told me listen up close, there's a story they have composed look how they're clapping arms are a waving high Do you remember back on the day when the trees swayed in the same way All the clouds swung low over kings and thieves and how your mother stayed by your side, watched the curtain tear in your eye and all the heavy hearts could've cracked the ground
The beats of hammers felt like drums of war Killed for the words you swore
From the belly of the deepest love, The hills trembling throats sing hallelujah Like the flowers on the dogwood tree, blush with blame you took for me Oh how you wished to be with me, Oh how you wished to be with me
Do you remember seeing the man, covered by the same blood he damned Join the song with the sky in the darkest hour I need something to hold onto, stronger than the iron that held you Louder than the roar of the crowd that day.
The beats of hammers felt like drums of war Killed for the words you swore
From the belly of the deepest love, The hills trembling throats sing hallelujah Like the flowers on the dogwood tree, blush with blame you took for me Oh how you wished to be with me, Oh how you wished to be with me
I tried to get to you, but you came to me instead With the dawn the grave is gone, Oh how you wish to be with me
