Better For Us - Grant Lee Buffalo[00:00:01]
Soon we'll count the rings inside all one by one[00:00:15]
Wondering if I could point to the place[00:00:25]
Where we first slept 'neath it's branches[00:00:30]
Oh oh[00:00:35]
Leaves once rose like an ocean[00:00:38]
We swam when we were boys[00:00:42]
This one was all things a mansion a fortress[00:00:47]
And as we matured it was shade for[00:00:52]
The secrets that we passed along[00:00:57]
But this oak has grown old wither-wrung[00:01:03]
It threatens to fall[00:01:08]
Better for us if the axe splits the trunk they say[00:01:13]
On your tip toes a tenpenny nail[00:01:17]
Jutting high in the bark[00:01:22]
Relics of tree houses built and torn down[00:01:27]
Places we hid after dark oh[00:01:32]
Oh[00:01:39]
Please please lend some belief to this[00:01:40]
Hard wasted ground[00:01:45]
Where little green soldiers and Indians fought[00:01:50]
This is the burial mound of[00:01:55]
My youth and my innocence[00:02:00]
This oak has grown old wither-wrung[00:02:06]
It threatens to fall[00:02:11]
Better for us if the axe splits the trunk they say[00:02:15]
Better for us[00:02:48]
Better for us[00:02:50]
Better for us[00:02:58]
Better for us yeah[00:03:00]
Better for us[00:03:07]
Better for us[00:03:10]
