Belly of the Deepest Love

I remember when I was young I was fickle you were so strong I remember trees as they called your name Mother told me, "Listen up close There's a story they have composed Look how their clapping arms are a-swaying high" Do you remember, back on that day When the trees swayed in the same way? How the clouds hung low over kings and thieves? How your mother stayed by your side? Watch the curtain tear in your eyes All the heavy hearts could've cracked the ground The beats of hammers felt like drums of war Killed for the words you swore From the belly of the deepest love The hills trembling throats sing hallelujah Like the flowers on a dogwood tree Blush with blame you took for me Oh, how you wish to be with me Oh, how you wish to be with me Do you remember seeing the man Covered by the same blood he damned? Join the song with the sky in the darkest hour I need something to hold on to Stronger than the iron that held you Louder than the roar of the crowd that day The beats of hammers felt like drums of war Killed for the words you swore From the belly of the deepest love The hills trembling throats sing hallelujah Like the flowers on a dogwood tree Blush with blame you took for me Oh, how you wish to be with me Oh, how you wish to be with me I tried to get to you But you came to me instead With the dawn, the grave is gone Oh, how you wish to be with me I tried to get to you But you came to me instead With the dawn, the grave is gone Oh, how you wish to be with me I tried to get to you But you came to me instead With the dawn, the grave is gone Oh, how you wish to be with me
