discovery - swing tree lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
if i was a boy at sea
i would be swinging from a broken tree
i would be down on my back looking up at stars at night
and if i could get back to reach, to reach the saltiest of evergreens
you know that i would turn back just to fight the whites of iron eyes

[verse 1 – rostam]
when i hear that wind and i think of spring
underneath an open window a carved out sign and
often i would fight with my mind

[verse 1 – wes]
saltw-ter brine where you hung your crown
when you washed your eyes in last night’s tea
i thought you might come out from the dream to find that

[chorus]

[verse 1 – rostam]
underneath the pine grew a patch of thyme
that i burned for six days in the sun
’til i heard the distant sound of drums

[verse 1 – wes]
oh the queen had come and the king had died
and my forehead burned but i closed my eyes
and my forehead burned but i closed my eyes

[chorus x3]

[background lyrics during second and third chorus – rostam]
before i go i’ve got to run, down the street to the market cove where i could
find six seeds to bring back to the yard and plant underneath the birch tree
no white skies or red sunlight
in the saltw-ter brine
my forehead burned but i closed my eyes

whoa. now you’ve got to go

[variations on chorus]
