Plant A Forest

[00:00.71] She comes from a town deep in the trees
[00:07.78] But lives in the city in a walk-up with me
[00:14.80] We wake in the gray but she dreams in deep green
[00:21.50] So she asks for a garden and hands me a seed
[00:30.30] I'll plant a forest for you
[00:34.23] Tend to the branches and roots
[00:38.34] I'll plant a forest for you
[00:41.79] I'll do anything to grow with you
[00:49.56] I start with the flowers right by your head
[00:56.55] Then maidenhair ferns that I place round the bed
[01:03.60] An orchid that grows by the laundry machine
[01:10.29] Then lupines that cover our pillows and sheets
[01:18.43] I'll plant a forest for you
[01:22.49] Tend to the branches and roots
[01:26.46] I'll plant a forest for you
[01:29.92] I'll do anything to grow with you
[01:34.72] I'll plant a forest for you
[01:38.63] The evergreens fill up our room
[01:42.90] I'll plant a forest for you
[01:46.68] Give up everything to grow with you
[01:51.06] Oh, we'll pass the time
[01:54.95] Growing like moss on a northern pine
[01:59.02] Oh, with your hand in mine
[02:03.06] Gripping me tight in the evening light
[02:07.01] Oh, if you stay with me
[02:11.09] We'll grow with the trees and have all we need
[02:15.27] Oh, verdant and green
[02:19.28] Because every forest begins with a seed
[02:26.04] I'll plant a forest for you
[02:30.08] Tend to the branches and roots
[02:34.22] I'll plant a forest for you
[02:37.65] I'll do anything to grow with you
[02:43.96]
