where were you when I was up my tree carving out a sung identity
where were you when I was blossoming filling up with shame and subtlety
‘cause I needed you to call out come down from there
I’ve been looking everywhere - your song circlin’ higher and gone
where were you when I was up my tree drowning out the devils I’d heard speak invisible, braced inside the bark
‘cause I needed you to call out come down from there
I’ve been looking everywhere - your song circlin’ higher and gone
come down I’ve been watching you all along…
bird of this paradise crying to me precious and prized for your golds and your greens
I can see everything from the top of this tree no sooner you’re seen then you fly and I’m falling…
