Mother Told Her Mother Told Me

Mother told her mother told me

What was out under the family tree

I don't need this town, I will always find another

Even if I often wander back again

Brother told a brother told me

What was out under the family tree

If you leave this town you will never find another

Even if you often wander out again

Oh, the love

The way it cuts

Better than a knife

Bleeding for a lifetime

Mother told her mother told me

What was written on the family tree

If you leave this town you will never find another

Even if you often wander back again

Brother told a brother told me

What was hanging in the family tree

If you leave this town we will never have to wonder

If the roots are getting water underneath

Oh, the love

The way it cuts

Better than a knife

Bleeding for a lifetime
