Better For Us |
Soon we’ll count the rings inside all one by one |
Wondering if I could point to the place |
Where we first slept 'neath it’s branches |
Oh oh |
Leaves once rose like an ocean we swam when we were boys |
This one was all things a mansion a fortress |
And as we matured it was shade for |
The secrets that we passed along |
But this oak has grown old wither-wrung |
It threatens to fall |
Better for us if the axe splits the trunk they say |
On your tip toes a ten-penny nail jutting high in the bark |
Relics of tree houses built and torn down |
Places we hid after dark oh |
Oh oh |
Please please lend some belief to this hard wasted ground |
Where little green soldiers and Indians fought |
This is the burial mound of |
My youth and my innocence |
This oak has grown old wither-wrung |
It threatens to fall |
Better for us if the axe splits the trunk they say |
Oh oh oh |
Better for us |
Better for us |
Better for us |
Better for us yeah |
Better for us |
Better for us |
Oh oh oh |
