Roots

I've been forgetting to post lyrics and poems as I write them recently. My apologies.


Roots

I’m tired of playing

at being a tumbleweed

I want to put down roots

and grow into a tree

Reach into the sky

til my leaves turn blue

and I will only fall, my love

when I fall for you

When the sun is hot

I will be your shade

When the wind blows strong, my love

I will be your break

When the sky falls down

I will guard you from the rain

I’m softer than an oak

harder than a pine

ever young and ever green

somewhere in between

Come and play beside me

entwine your roots with mine

when you’re tired lean against me

and I’ll sing you a lullaby

When the sun is hot

I will be your shade

When the wind blows strong, my love

I will be your break

When the sky falls down

I will guard you from the rain

We’ll be a pair of apple trees

let our flowers bloom

when our fruit is ripe and sweet

send them out into the world

they'll down their own roots

how they'll them sew their own seeds

and when its time to move on, my love

we will go in peace 

I’m tired of playing

at being a tumbleweed

I want to put down roots

and grow into a tree

Reach into the sky

til my leaves turn blue

and I’ll only fall

when I fall for you

When the sun is hot

I will be your shade

When the wind blows strong, my love

I will be your break

When the sky falls down

I will guard you from the rain
