I can take a road   Takes a little longer   Walk before the house where we had our games   Suffering life, play, making, we discovered fire      People like you made me so much stronger   People like you made me question blame   Huddled in strength like birds on a sloping wire      Hearing your voice makes me so uneasy   Hearing your voice makes me question fame   Money is deaf to the sound of a lover's cry      The language of loss made me so much older   The language of loss made me lose my grip   The language of loss made me silent as a newborn child      Cuz everything moves in a shifting cycle   The unison soars and the pressure dips   Making our way steadfast in the skyward mile      And baby I know I will see you someday   Building your house on the very street   You severed your mother's life from your father's land      Finish your home we can join them this way   We talked about peace and a little dream   Marriage and love and divorce we don't understand      And you know I have to sway my leaves and branches slowly    Out in the sun, like the silent shout of youth      And we ask why do we take these leaps and chances   Because we have no choice but to wither into truth      And I dreamed you were there   All the vital signs were standing   When I dreamed you were with me   With the summer at my back      And I dreamed you were there   So complete and undemanding   We know the love that gives   Is what the living always lack      And you know I have to sway my leaves and branches slowly   Out in the sun, like the silent shout of youth      And we ask why do we take these leaps and chances   Because we have no choice but to wither into truth
