Lyrics for Bend Down The Branches

(Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan) The sky's as deep as it can be Bend down the branches Close your eyes and you will see Bend down the branches You're like a willow Once you were gold We're made for bending Even beauty gets old Climb the stairs they're not so steep Bend down the branches Close your eyes and go to sleep Bend down the branches
