BRAMBLES
Lyrics by Erika Lundahl

Rain barrels full, the gardens wild with brambles
Kettles on, the stories we tell ramble on and on

On your feet there’s so much to unravel
On your feet, there's so much to unravel

Salted streets and skin heads with their bibles
Water’s rising, and the houses and rivers are rivals

January come and gone
Up north our neighbors are burying their stillborns
The air is dirty and the land is torn
But we’re still breathing so we’re stitching up a love song
Stiching up a love song

Help me to believe that we’re the ones we’ve been waiting for
Smoky skies bring me to my knees
The orchards filled with apple trees

Go down to the river, thank you please
I’m scared I don’t know what this means
What this means

I've been asleep but morning is breaking into dawn
No time to weep, all of us broken still belong

Grave Digger, Oil tanker
Law Maker, heart breaker
Aren’t you tired of selling this as dignity?
Aren't you tired of selling this as dignity?

Air is dirty and the land is torn
But we’re still breathing so we’re stitching up a love song

Air is dirty and the land is torn
But we’re still breathing so we’re stitching up a love song

Rain barrels full, the gardens wild with brambles
Kettles on, the stories we tell ramble on and on
and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
