lyrics

sycamore baby ● a late flying bird ● less than mother mary ‘cause joseph didn't believe a word ● wings told they’re broken won’t catch wind ● the haze of drought cries for her lost promised land ● what can you say to the dark taint ● a dawning heart a sad old ache ● after take and take ● who gets the blame ● the budding flower ● the little doll ● knew girls as bouquets ● eves made for love ● to keep her fingers from heaven’s door ● if a man gets too much ● what can you say to the dark taint ● a dawning heart a sad old ache ● after take and take ● who gets the shame ● it’s just that sad tree on repeat ● mistakes sing loud ● at fear’s feet ● in fables that argue scared of any kind truth ● scared of any god ● that’s more than what a mind can choose ● what can you say to the dark taint ● a dawning heart a sad old ache ● after take and take ● who gets turned away ● born tied to a burden what a weight to bear ● to hide what’s stolen and say it’s a fair share ● born tied to a burden what a weight to bear ● to know this pain ● is dismissed by prayers ● well I was born free ● it just wasn’t known to me ● my eden wasn’t lost ● I was just told it should be ●
