๐ Lyrics
One, two, three, four
Grab your heart, we need to leave
There's no time to cry or grieve
For the fallen family tree
Rise above the flooding plain
Crouching low to duck the flame
Generations against the grain
Up in smoke and down the drain
Narrow pass and gaining speed
A judgment lapse is all we need
To make the treachery complete
Fire from the mountainside
Flood's below not far behind
We rise, we burn, we fall, we swim
We're best to let the water in
If the fire, if the flood
Burns the tree and thins the blood
If your tears don't wanna dry
I can help you cry
Through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
But I can help you cry
Returning prodigals to home
Learning all there is to know
About reaping what you sow
S.O.S. with dot and dash
Morse code the fire and ash
What we have, will have to do
To work the ground and start anew
Cut the branch from this tree
Carve a place for you and me
A wooden seat that we can string
From a branch where we can swing
Just take this block of wood
Carve it down and sand it good
When finished it will be
A souvenir of the family tree
And if the fire, if the flood
Burns the tree and thins the blood
If your tears don't wanna dry
I can help you cry
Through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
But I can help you cry
Through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
I can try but
God help me please
Come save the family tree
My friends, I broke them all
When falling off the wall
In the ash, I found an ember
Something warm to help remember
A block of wood that used to be
A strong tall family tree
A strong tall family tree
Blowing in the breeze
Cry
Grab your heart, we need to leave
There's no time to cry or grieve
For the fallen family tree
Rise above the flooding plain
Crouching low to duck the flame
Generations against the grain
Up in smoke and down the drain
Narrow pass and gaining speed
A judgment lapse is all we need
To make the treachery complete
Fire from the mountainside
Flood's below not far behind
We rise, we burn, we fall, we swim
We're best to let the water in
If the fire, if the flood
Burns the tree and thins the blood
If your tears don't wanna dry
I can help you cry
Through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
But I can help you cry
Returning prodigals to home
Learning all there is to know
About reaping what you sow
S.O.S. with dot and dash
Morse code the fire and ash
What we have, will have to do
To work the ground and start anew
Cut the branch from this tree
Carve a place for you and me
A wooden seat that we can string
From a branch where we can swing
Just take this block of wood
Carve it down and sand it good
When finished it will be
A souvenir of the family tree
And if the fire, if the flood
Burns the tree and thins the blood
If your tears don't wanna dry
I can help you cry
Through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
But I can help you cry
Through the night
Through the night and day
I can't take your pain away
I can try but
God help me please
Come save the family tree
My friends, I broke them all
When falling off the wall
In the ash, I found an ember
Something warm to help remember
A block of wood that used to be
A strong tall family tree
A strong tall family tree
Blowing in the breeze
Cry
