Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Dirt on my knees
Old shirt
New seeds
You hold the hose
Laugh as the water runs over my toes
Tiny green stem
Shaking in wind
I press the ground
Promise I’ll always come back around
[Chorus]
One day this yard will be a forest to us
Branches like arms that remember our trust
We’re building shade for the kids we haven’t met
A quiet place where the sun forgets
Planting this tree
Planting our hope here yet
[Verse 2]
We mark its height
Year after year
Scratches and dates
Right by the fence where the seasons appear
Snow
Then soft bloom
Picnics in June
We lean our backs
Dream of the day that it carries our weight
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Can you see a swing
Tied to that limb
Two small shoes
Kicking the sky again
Can you see a table
Under the green
Old friends talking
Til we can’t see a thing
[Chorus]
