Old Birch Tree (Demo) Lyrics

I'm sick and tired of this rut that I'm in

I'm trying to get by, I'm trying to fit in

But your diamond blue eyes, they are beckonin' for me to give it all up, to start over again

For you I'll save all my money and buy a piece of land

Where the mountain tops meet God's outstretched hand

There'll be an old birch tree in a field on a hill

Our hearts will feel so full, and our minds will be so still

And we'll dance, we'll sing barefoot in the leaves

And I'll hold you close under the old birch tree

We'll dance, we'll sing barefoot in the leaves

And I'll hold you close under the old birch tree

Let's go foraging for mushrooms barefoot in the dirt

Then fill our bellies with soup in our warm, wooden yurt

We'll get cozy by the fire, remember how life used to be

Before our souls felt this nourished, before we felt this free

We'll grow crops in the rich soil and raise some sheep

I'll be your container where your dreams can run free

And we'll dance, we'll sing barefoot in the leaves

And I'll hold you close under the old birch tree

We'll dance, we'll sing barefoot in the leaves

And I'll hold you close under the old birch tree

Na-na naaa na, na-na naaa naaa naaa

Na-na naaa na, na-na naaa naaa naa

Na-na naaa na, na-na naaa naaa naaa

Na-na naaa na, na-na naaa naaa naa

And when we get old, I'll hold your wrinkled hands in mine

We'll sing our favourite mantras 'til the wee hours of the night

And when the sunlight wakes us up from our warm, lovin' dreams

Our whole tribe will come over with nothing on their feet

Yea, our tribe will come over to dance with us among the leaves

And we'll dance, we'll sing barefoot in the leaves

And I'll hold you close under the old birch tree

We'll dance, we'll sing barefoot in the leaves

And I'll hold you close under the old birch tree

Na-na naaa na, na-na naaa naaa naaa

Na-na naaa na, na-na naaa naaa naa

Na-na naaa na, na-na naaa naaa naaa

Na-na naaa na, na-na naaa naaa naa
