The Lone Bellow - Tree to Grow Lyrics

And you told me you were sorry
And you did not want to pray
You looked outside your window
As I went outside away
The street it was much warmer
On my bare feet than the rain
That fell out of the sky
Just like my thoughts fell on that day
Oh

I poured out one more handful of
The rain that fell that day
I collected in my spare time
As I walked back home that way
On the night you said you're sorry
On the night my colors changed
I waved to you from outside
As you screamed of all my shame.

(I'll never leave.
I'll always stay.
I swear on all that I keep safe.) x2

(The tree I'll grow to let you know
My love is older than my soul) x4

Your brutal smile, your well-known face
Your tattlin' shoes, your wicked grace
Your precious time, your darker days
The days I left you with no space
To breathe or even think of me
Without the worry that I always leave

(I'll never leave, I'll always stay.
I swear on all that I keep safe.) x 4
I'll never leave, I'll always stay.
I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear

(But it gets harder and hard
But my love is older than my soul
But my love is older than my soul) x2

(The tree I'll grow to let you know
My love is older than my soul) x4
