Boys in the Trees Lyrics by Rebecca Luker

Leaving Home

2004

[Verse 1]
I'm home again in my old narrow bed
Where I grew tall and my feet hung over the end
The low beam room with the window looking out
On the soft summer garden
Where the boys grew in the trees
[Verse 2]
Here I grew guilty and no one was at fault
Frightened by the power in every innocent thought
And the silent understanding passing down
From daughter to daughter
Let the boys grow in the trees (Boys in the trees, boys in the trees)
[Verse 3]
Do you go to them or do you let thеm come to you?
Do you stand in back afraid that you'll intrude?
Deny yoursеlf and hope someone will see
And live like a flower
While the boys grow in the trees (Boys in the trees)
[Verse 4]
Last night I slept in sheets the color of fire
Tonight I lie alone again and curse my own desire
Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze
And watch by the window
Where the boys grew in the trees (Boys in the trees)
The boys grew in the trees (Boys in the trees)
(Boys in the trees, boys in the trees, boys in the trees)
