Redwoods

Smoke filled jacket
Ashes lying on the forest floor
Red letters and red-eyes
Last nights fire wouldn’t burn no more
Sisters calling and the tears start talking
So you handed me the phone
Pulled you close the moment that you lost it
That’s when we lost and found it all
There I was holding you
We were barely holding it together
Nothing we could say or do
Let the holy silence build a shelter
Under the stars in each others arms we stood
Somehow our love was taller than the redwoods
Holding me, holding you
Holding us together
Blue gowns and strangers
Do they know I’m desperate to make her mine
Can’t stop thinking
Please, don’t take away my sunshine
Sisters calling and the tears start talking
Babies reaching for the phone
Ancient trees sway to a third heart beating
Where we lost and found it all
There I was holding you
We were barely holding it together
Nothing we could say or do
Let the holy silence build a shelter
Under the stars in each others arms we stood
Somehow our love was taller than the redwoods
Holding me, holding you
Holding us together
Carried in a love with roots as old as strong
We ain’t here forever, but we can make it last that long
There I was holding you
We were barely holding it together
Nothing we could say or do
Let the holy silence build a shelter
Under the stars in each others arms we stood
Somehow our love was taller than the redwoods
Holding me, holding you
Holding us together
Holding us together
Smoke filled jacket
Ashes lying on the forest floor
