Crimson Tree (Stripped) Lyrics

Anticipation leaves me here

On a long and lonely road

Troubled times and jaded years

Turn my eyes to what I know

I'm not asleep

And there's no desire to leave this place

I just seem to keep

This thorn from falling away

They say tears will be no more

When we walk through Heaven's door

But how can we withstand the sight of a missing leaf

In the branches of a crimson tree?

These words can only go so far

Talking down will kill me first

The answer to who we are

Lies in each and every verse

Holding tight

Must I give this all to the wind?

I don't take this lightly

Where do we begin?

They say tears will be no more

When we walk through Heaven's door

But how can we withstand the sight of a missing leaf

In the branches of a crimson tree?

Through the door

There is so much more

Than we could ever know

Can we take a step back

And take a breath that

Leads us back home?

They say tears will be no more

When we walk through Heaven's door

But how can I withstand the sight of a missing leaf

In the branches of my crimson tree?
