Branches Lyrics by Midlake

The Trials of Van Occupanther (10th Anniversary Edition)

2006

[Verse 1]
I saw she was living under some branches
I saw she was happy in her circumstances

[Verse 2]
I also live under branches
I'd rather not live in these places
In these places

[Refrain]
We won't get married
'Cause she won't have me
She wakes up awfully early
These days, these days

[Chorus]
And there's no one else so kind
There's no one else to find
It's hard for me, but I'm trying
It's hard for me, but I'm trying

[Verse 3]
I saw she was busy gathering wood for a fire
I'd like to help her some, but she replies "It's done"

[Refrain]
We won't get married
'Cause she won't have me
She wakes up awfully early
These days, these days

[Chorus]
And there's no one else so kind
There's no one else to find
It's hard for me, but I'm trying
It's hard for me, but I'm trying

[Outro]
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me, but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me, but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me, but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me, but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me, but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me, but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me, but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me, but I'm trying)
It's hard for me but I'm trying (It's hard for me, but I'm trying)
