Hard Bark On The Family Tree (You Can't Go Home Again 2008)

Текст песни Have Heart - Hard Bark On The Family Tree (You Can't Go Home Again 2008)

October leaves on Massachusetts’ trees

A sight so fleetingly free

Just how October leaves
Just how October leaves
Just how October leaves
Me

On fire with the maple trees
On my knees with these leaves on these boston streets
Praying to a god a godforsaken summer night stole
(one night), one fight, one family swallowed whole

Some things just fall apart
Some families stand like November trees: barren and stark
Some things just fall apart
Some memories continue breaking the cold heart

And some sons have a hard time
Looking at things the same
Looking in their father’s eyes
When both their heads hang in shame

Highways home become oceans
That I just can’t swim
And the rusty gates of Eden lock
To never let me in
Let me in

Oceans of emotions we’ve go to swim

Well I open my eyes
I can’t see that family
I can’t see that home

So I’ll just keep them closed

Outside this door with these open arms
With the warmth of the maple tree

If these trees can’t replace scars
Then let their leaves just bury me

Let their leaves just bury me
