jessica willis fisher - dogwood lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i am not an oak tree
standing full and tall
i am not a redwood
growing old above it all
i am not a willow
slender in the wind
oh, and i am not an aspen
with a lovely silver skin

[chorus]
but in the spring, there’s no one that can match me
i come alive and white is all you see
breathe me in and know the winter’s over
if i had wooden roots and branches, bark, and blooms
i’d be a dogwood tree

[verse 2]
i am not a poplar
or a sweet virginia pine
it’s hard to find another
with a flower quite like mine
crimson in the corners
i wear my wounds with pride
believing in the beauty
of the many tears i’ve criеd
[chorus]
but in the spring, i’m living in my glory
in the sun, i grow another yеar
every ring will tell a sacred story
if i had wooden roots and branches, bark, and blooms
i’d be a dogwood tree

[bridge]
maybe i’ll come back again after i am gone
a sapling from the earth would mean the journey carries on

[verse 3]
i am not a cedar
as green as ever could
oh, i will fade to nothing
this was always understood
everyone is made of
those who came before
you count the days you’re given
and you’re always wanting more

[chorus]
but in the spring, there’s no one that can match me
i come alive and white is all you see
breathe me in and know the winter’s over
if i had wooden roots and branches, bark, and blooms
i’d be a dogwood tree
[outro]
if i had wooden roots and branches, bark, and blooms
i’d be a dogwood tree
