Woman is a Tree

Lyrics for Woman is a Tree

Blow, winds, crack your cheeks I can’t feel a thing anymore I’m superior mother, I answer the call There is no other, I capture the fall Down to Earth, I sink Every night I hear falling birds They crash to the pavement, they’re crushed under foot All the beaks, all the asphalt, I can’t bear to look Harbour in your heart Oysters, shards of glass from the sea My blisters are burst where my scales used to be I foam at the mouth, carve an axe when you speak Woman is a tree Tenderfoot and peerless arrived Oh, my darling is dripping in sequins and milk The fur of a fruit bat, our limbs line the fields Woman is a tree Livid hero, I am here With deluxe understanding, I’ll shelter your soul Sister of mine, you will never grow cold Woman is the tree Man a clinging vine on the branch The voices of children are heard on the hill My heart is at rest now and everything’s Still
