The clouds fall low like a dress
Draped over the shins of a tree I knew
Covering up knees like knots
When I was a kid I carved my name in the bark
Rang bicycle bells, and skinned knees
Late in the park
Dug deep with our legs in the ground like old trees
No sleep left our names in the bark just skin deep
Let the fog cover up these old scars
From carving constellations in these arms of ours
We're just old roots grown out of old shoes
Growing old, growing deep
It's just garden work
Oh our hands how they would creep
Finding peace beneath the bark and control in its release
How our bones grew bent and old like trees
How our hair fell out like fallen leaves
Dug deep with our legs in the ground like old trees
No sleep left our names in the bark just skin deep
Let the fog cover up these old scars
From carving constellations in these arms of ours
We're just old roots grown out of old shoes
Growing old, but growing deep
