The Arborist

[Verse 1]
This walk through life is harder than it used to be
We're scorching weeds to keep them from growing
The acid soil pulling up roots we locate
To a garden bed that's fertile and free

[Pre-Chorus]
But watch what you're stepping on
And who veils the light
Well there's always a weasel or two
And the snake's out at night

[Chorus]
But I'll turn towards the sun
Feel so at ease, and I beg your pardon
Roam, but never run
Ditch old routines or the heart will harden

[Verse 2]
Once they stood battered and bruised with hell below
When witches bloom it's time to fell
The autumn wind blows with a sign of what's to come
Rake those leaves and draw the blinds

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, you've always been what you're becoming
And I can't bear to watch

[Chorus]
So I'll turn towards the sun
Feel so at ease, and I beg your pardon
Roam, but never run
Ditch old routines or the heart will harden

[Bridge]
Babe, if we were strolling
Through the memories
You can't pollinate the good ones
Or somehow pull the bad
We set them up, and watch them fall away
Fall away

[Chorus]
So I'll turn towards the sun
Feel so at ease, and I beg your pardon
Roam, but never run
Ditch old routines or the heart will harden

[Bridge 2]
Hey, without ever knowing
You would lend a hand
Sowing seeds of future
So many plans we'll make
We set them up, now watch them fall away

[Bridge]
Babe, if we were strolling
Through the memories
You can't pollinate the good ones
Or somehow pull the bad
We set them up, and watch them fall away
Fall away
