The Gardener & The Tree
river dead
[Verse 1]
And I know that I was lost inside my head a thousand
Undone by all the words that I would hear when I was young
And I just told you from the start
That we were swimming down the river dead
And undone by all the trials and all the revelators
And all done by all the words that we just took way in our minds
And I just told you from the start
That we were swimming down the river dead
[Verse 2]
Runaway, I hear you
I wanna say something else tonight
Runaway, hear now
I wanna call you to the late night
And say it's nothing to fear about
When the cars come down on the highway
And still they don't stop at the building
Likе watching the birdfs passing south
[Chorus]
I wasn't there whеn you called
You said the wall was to fall
Running back a hundred times now
And when they told the copper come
To tell me clear the scene
I said you wouldn't wanna run now
'Cause you're part of the gang
They say the low won't repent
[Verse 3]
And yes, I told you from the start
That we were swimming down the river dead
My mind heard just a hundred times
I might die in this
Dead in a muerto bay
Ay
And I could tell that a million lies
Come from mouths that you never knew back in days
Ay
[Chorus]
I wasn't there when you called
You said the wall to fall
Running back a hundred times now
And when they told the coppers come
To tell me clear the scene
I said you wouldn't wanna run now
'Cause you're part of the gang
They say the low won't repent
[Verse 4]
If you want the stars
You gotta head for the moon
If you want the best
If you want the best, you gotta
Head down to the coast
Say it's so crazy when you want it the most
But, oh, my heart you won't mind
You'll see it's the best
If you wanna be the best in the middle
Then you wanna change
