“Branches” was originally performed at duo shows before the band was formed and it was later recorded in their 2016 Daytrotter session. The song has not yet been included on an official release.
[Verse]
How we would wake up warming
In the morning by the kerosene
Outside the banks were forming
Like an ocean of evangeline
[Chorus]
I live and dream
You live and dream
In the branches of the evergreen
[Verse]
We take Betsy walking
In the back field by the lumber yard
Sammy cut worms with bare hands
And I loved him with all of my heart
[Chorus]
I live and dream
You live and dream
In the branches of the еvergreen
I live and dream
You livе and dream
In the branches of the evergreen
[Verse]
Crossing the ice a [?]
And the dogs were a-howling
And you said the tram
You said the tram
You said the tram would come soon
With a breath that was flowering
[Chorus]
I live and dream
You live and dream
In the branches of the evergreen
I live and dream
You live and dream
In the branches of the evergreen
