Arthur Lee Land Hawthorne Tree lyrics

MY LOVE TRIPPED AND FELL DOWN A HOLY WELL
I LISTEN AND IT'S ECHOING IS HAUNTING ME FOR DAYS
AND I WANT TO REACH DOWN
AND DIP THE FABRICS OF MY ANCESTORS
UNTIL THEY BLEED TOGETHER
AND TIE THEM TO A HAWTHORNE TREE

AND I FIND MYSELF SMALLER THAN A GRAIN OF SAND
AND I FIND MYSELF MORE OPEN THEN THE SKY HIMSELF

FORGIVE MY HEART BREAKING SENSES
FORGIVE MY NAME AND MY TATTOOS
FORGIVE FORGIVENESS

AND THE SYLPHS WOULD FILL THE SKY
AND THE LIGHTENING, LIFTING, GROUNDING
UNTIL MY FEET BECAME ROOTS
AND REACHED DOWN INTO SAND & DIRT

AND I FIND MYSELF SMALLER THAN A GRAIN OF SAND
AND I FIND MYSELF MORE OPEN THEN THE SKY HIMSELF

FORGIVE MY HEART BREAKING SENSES

FORGIVE MY NAME AND MY TATTOOS
FORGIVE FORGIVENESS

AND ALL I CAN OFFER IS MY SELF,
MY FLESH, MY BONES, MY LIFE FORCE
OFTEN KICKING AND SCREAMING,
SOMETIMES OPENING AND BEING

AND I FIND MYSELF SMALLER THAN A GRAIN OF SAND
AND I FIND MYSELF MORE OPEN THEN THE SKY HIMSELF

IF I COULD GO BACK THE APPLE, THE SNAKE, THE TREE
IF I COULD REWRITE MY STORY SO DEFINED


FORGIVE MY HEART BREAKING SENSES
FORGIVE MY NAME AND MY TATTOOS
FORGIVE FORGIVENESS
FORGIVE FORGIVENESS
FORGIVE FORGIVENESS HERSELF
