My Church Is In The Trees Lyrics by Nathan Payne

Love is Wasted

2017

In the land where the cotton fields cling
To everything
I'm headed south
On a broken wing
To the headless city rising
There's a downpour
A rising flood
Of flowers blooming in my blood
I may have slipped and slept
Awhile
In the mud
But not anymore
A burning sparrow pierced my heart
A flaming arrow
A fiery dart
And love is a fierce
Perfect art
No one can master
Behold the diamond in my hand
You can't see it
But I can
It's not necessary to understand
Only to believe
I rolled up in my rottеn yacht
To rediscover the long-forgottеn plot
But the cemetery gates were locked
As I hoped they would be
I spent the night on Barracks Street
A swarm of fairies swam around my feet
And I dreamed about a love so sweet
Not even we could deny
Lay me down where the lizards sleep
And the daughters run still and deep
Where the waters start to weep
With gratitude and joy
Happiness comes to those who wait
Until it seems like it's way too late
I can't understand
Or overstate
This paradox of life
Take me baby by the invisible hand
Of an unseen force
Through an imaginary land
I haven't seen these streets
Since time began
If indeed I've ever seen them at all
Loving ravens follow me
From town to town
And tree to tree
They provide for and protect me
From the spirits of destruction
My church is in the trees
With the broken birds
And the burning bees
Your sycophantic prophecies
Exhaust my heart and mind
