Belly of the Deepest Love

I remember when I was young
 I was fickle you were so strong
 I remember trees as they called your name
 Mother told me, "Listen up close
 There's a story they have composed
 Look how their clapping arms are a-swaying high"
 Do you remember, back on that day
 When the trees swayed in the same way?
 How the clouds hung low over kings and thieves?
 How your mother stayed by your side?
 Watch the curtain tear in your eyes
 All the heavy hearts could've cracked the ground
 The beats of hammers felt like drums of war
 Killed for the words you swore
 From the belly of the deepest love
 The hills trembling throats sing hallelujah
 Like the flowers on a dogwood tree
 Blush with blame you took for me
 Oh, how you wish to be with me
 Oh, how you wish to be with me
 ♪
 Do you remember seeing the man
 Covered by the same blood he damned?
 Join the song with the sky in the darkest hour
 I need something to hold on to
 Stronger than the iron that held you
 Louder than the roar of the crowd that day
 The beats of hammers felt like drums of war
 Killed for the words you swore
 From the belly of the deepest love
 The hills trembling throats sing hallelujah
 Like the flowers on a dogwood tree
 Blush with blame you took for me
 Oh, how you wish to be with me
 Oh, how you wish to be with me
 I tried to get to you
 But you came to me instead
 With the dawn, the grave is gone
 Oh, how you wish to be with me
 I tried to get to you
 But you came to me instead
 With the dawn, the grave is gone
 Oh, how you wish to be with me
 I tried to get to you
 But you came to me instead
 With the dawn, the grave is gone
 Oh, how you wish to be with me
