[Verse 1]
Hunted down, I came upon
A place of ferns and grass
Gathered to a redbud tree
And now their footsteps pass
Where I crouch in dread
Discovery my certain death
Her leaves reaching for my head
As I suspend my breath

[Chorus]
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me

[Verse 2]
Those days of fear are gone
Yet I am pledged to her
As to my only one
My lovely protector

[Chorus]
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
Redbud tree, shelter me, shelter me
