Blown away up to the air above the tree tops,
Bare and naked, cold as the newborn.
Hallow is the branch that falls to the wayside,
It's sway will slow and and speed as the wind blows.
Oh, how cruel is time, how it gives and takes away,
When the water breaks and birth screams into life.
And the doctors voice when he sends you home to die.
Oh, we come and go.
Blown away up to the air above the tree tops,
Bare and naked, cold as the newborn.
Twisted is the bow that withers in the star light,
Its form reflecting the life of the grey roots.
Oh, how cruel is time, how it gives and takes away,
When the water breaks and birth screams into life.
And the doctors voice when he sends you home to die.
Oh, we come and go.
Blown away up to the air above the tree tops,
Bare and naked, cold as the newborn.
Hallow is the branch that falls to the wayside,
Time will slow and speed as the wind blows.
