lyrics

Find me a seed
And I'll find you water
We’ll plant ourselves here
The wind, rain, and fodder
Will add to our rings
To our life, to our legacy

We form a tree
The roots and the branches
Locked in the soil
So shaped by the chances
Oh, we’ve built a home
Built a place for a history

And rain will come
To put out the fires, love
And we’ll remain, love
A statue that lives on for years
For all time

Here in the winter
We shed off our leaves
Though the seasons will change
My heart, love, it heeds
To the warmth in your glance
In your lips, in your warm embrace

When we break a branch
We’ll shake off the splinters
‘Cause wounds, love, they fade
And add to our shape

And rain will come
To put out the fires, love
And you remain
My only desire, love
‘Cause I am yours, and you are mine
And I’ll be yours for all time

In time, you wrapped your roots round me
And how I found you in the weeds
I’ll never know
Oh, I’ll never know

You were the seed
And I was the soil
Here in the earth
Our roots they did coil
Entwined, now our hearts
Form a life, form a legacy
