Family Tree

Like a seed in the earth waiting with bated breath is … …. (?)
All the months in the north that don’t get light at all, lonely all year round
How did I fall so far from the family tree?
Why did you follow when you saw what happened to me?

Lover, your momma
Will worry half to death, the day break

You give yourself to love like a wild animal, delivered from the plains
Celebrate the mountain, shivering and unprepared and desperate for decay

Now that you’re here love, don’t you feel somehow undone?

…. your body … misunderstandings of love.

Lover, your momma
Will worry half to death, the day break
Lover, your brothers will hunt me like a dog when they wake

Follow your mother, your father and brother back home
Follow your mother, your father and brother back home

Lover, your momma
Will worry half to death, when day breaks
And lover, your brothers will hunt me like a dog, when they wake

Follow your mother, your father and brother back home
Follow your mother, your father and brother back home
