Birch Tree Lyrics by Drew Citron

Free Now

2020

[Verse 1]
I loved you like an old birch tree
Bent down to kneel and pray at the forest floor
The roots spread wide and they were deep
Put there before the first Americans
Were run out of town
Shot to the ground
[Verse 2]
You loved me like a dog in heat
Condemned to cry outside of your windowsill
Did you know I survived for years
Scraping the bowl for a meal?
Dust on your shelf
Whatever helped
[Chorus]
I don’t need a father anymore
I can’t be your animal no more
[Verse 3]
I loved you like an old birch tree
Condemned to cry outside of your windowsill
Did you know I survived for years
Scraping the bowl for a meal?
I lied to myself
Whatever helped
[Chorus]
I don’t need a father anymore
I can’t be your animal no more
