Wither

Lyrics for Wither

Over where the trees burn down The place where the fields went down in flames We could put a hole in the ground Throw seeds and dance for rain It takes a mind to worry A conscience to feel ashamed But there's no place to hide out here These skies are filled with planes And both our hands are filthy Pointing up at the moon All tonight, I'll hold you close, close enough to bruise Hope a garden grows where we danced this afternoon Hope our children walk by spring when flowers bloom Hope they'll get to see my color Know that I've enjoyed sunshine Pray they'll get to see me, me wither (When I was young) See me wither (When I was young) Know that—(Me) Enjoyed sunshine (When I was young) You know it happens all—(Me) Know that I've enjoyed sunshine (Me) You know it happens all—(Me)—all the time (Me) You know it happens all—(Me)—all the time (Me) When I was young (Me, me)
