The Branches of the Tree

Was it me?
Or you?
Who left the doors left unlocked and the windows open
Rain came in and now the wind blows through
Who knew?
If you turn away and you stay away
A drip today is tomorrow's deluge

The branches of the tree go reaching through the house
The branches of the tree

Old dreams, seagrass
Half on land, half underwater
Float to the window and drift right through
Who knew?
Roots unseen, paths to the rafters
Holes in the roof you can look right through

The branches of the tree go reaching through the house
The branches of the tree

Lights off in town
Absentees left with the keys
Apartment blocks you can see right through
Who knew?
Cats in hand, hearts underwater
Show home ghosts in the cobalt blue
Roots unseen, paths to the rafters
Holes in the roof you can see right through
Cats in hand, hearts underwater
Show home ghosts in the cobalt blue
Roots unseen, paths to the rafters
Holes in the roof you can see right through
Cats in hand, hearts underwater
Show home ghosts in the cobalt blue
