Lyrics The Arborist - Big Wreck

The Arborist

This walk through life is harder than it used to be
We’re scorching weeds to keep them from growing
The acid soil, pulling up roots, relocate
To a garden bed that’s fertile and free
But watch what you’re stepping on
And who veils the light
Well, there’s always a weasel or two
And the snake’s out at night
But I’ll turn towards the sun
Feel so at ease, and I beg your pardon
Roam, but never run
Ditch old routines or the heart will harden
Once they stood battered and bruised with hell below
When witches bloom it’s time to fell
The autumn wind blows with a sign of what’s to come
Rake those leaves and draw the blinds
You’ve always been what you’re becoming
And I can’t bear to watch
So I’ll turn towards the sun
Feel so at ease, and I beg your pardon
Roam, but never run
Ditch old routines or the heart will harden
Babe, if we were strolling
Through the memories
You can’t pollinate the good ones
Or somehow pull the bad
We set them up, and watch them fall away
Fall away
So I’ll turn towards the sun
Feel so at ease, and I beg your pardon
Roam, but never run
Ditch old routines or the heart will harden
Hey, without ever knowing you
We were hand in hand
Sowing seeds of future
So many plans were made
We set them up, now watch them fall away
Babe, if we were strolling
Through the memories
You can’t pollinate the good ones
Or somehow pull the bad
We set them up, and watch them fall away
Fall away
