Betula Nigre

lyrics

I would go to worship if I thought it work
I would not go on safari without you River Birch
When you left me for love they called and I've come
They're surrounding me now and everyday I feel some
They raise me like healers with the palms of their hands
They say they're aint no difference between rocks and plants, between water and land, between us....and

Betula Nigre, the trees are my elephants
This is my back up, this is my battle plan:
Take off my shoes and let my knees descend
With every leaf that falls i ll fall in front of them
And hope to God this love transcends, to you.

I had an image of what a White Birch was
I could not let it go, I thought thats what love was
I tried everything, I tryed a chemical peel
I thought it'd give your darkness this unique appeal
Your still gone and I'm still here
I'm in the darkness, the circle of fears,
I'm in the valley and the fields

Betula Nigre.....etc.

Now i'm layin in the tall, tall grass
By the wishin well
I know im in my body but some times its hard to tell
When everything is leaving, how can I respond?
How can I be sure?
How can I belong, to you Betula?

Betula the trees are my elephants now that you're gone.
