Lines Lyrics by Branches

Thou Art The Dream

2012

[Verse 1]
I built a home there in the trees
With splintered hands and bruised and bloodied knees

[Chorus]
One day your voice came riding on the breeze, ooh-ooh
"You don't have to be alone, you don't have to be alone
You don't have to be alone!
You don't have to be alone, you don't have to be alone
You don't have to be alone!"

[Verse 2]
Your voice touched my skin and filled my bones
It's running through the trees, like the wind that blows

[Chorus 2]
You set my words alive like skipping stones, ooh-ooh
I thought I had to be alone, I thought I had to be alone
I thought I had to be alone!
I thought I had to be alone, I thought I had to be alone
I thought I had to be alone!

[Verse 3]
Empty out my pockets full of light
Filling riverbeds with tears turned dry

[Chorus 3]
The earth claps its hands in perfect time, ooh-ooh
No more singing all alone, no more singing all alone
No more singing all alone!
No more singing all alone, no more singing all alone
No more singing all alone!
No more singing all alone, no more singing all alone
No more singing all alone!

[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
The clock grows old in the grandfather sky
The lock grows cold just waiting for me to die

[Chorus 4]
And all of the wrinkles that my tears have left behind:
They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines!
They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines!
They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines!
They're just lines, they're just lines, they're just lines!
