Block of Wood [Live]

Grab your heart we need to leave There’s no time to cry or grieve For the fallen family tree Rise above the flooding plain Crouching low to duck the flame Generations against the grain Up in smoke and down the drain If the fire, if the flood Burns the tree and thins the blood If your tears don’t wanna dry I can help you cry Through the night Through the night and day I can’t take your pain away But I can help you cry Cut the branch from this tree Carve a place for you and me A wooden seat that we can string From a branch where we can swing Just take this block of wood Carve it down and sand it good When finished it will be A souvenir of the family tree If the fire, if the flood Burns the tree and thins the blood If your tears don’t wanna dry I can help you cry Through the night Through the night and day I can’t take your pain away But I can help you cry Through the night Through the night and day I can’t take your pain away I can try, but... God help me please Come save the family tree My friends, I broke them all When falling off the wall In the ash I found an ember Something warm to help remember The block of wood that used to be A strong tall family tree A strong tall family tree Blowing in the breeze cry Through the night Through the night and day I can’t take your pain away But I can help you cry Through the night Through the night and day I can’t take your pain away But I can help you cry
