Tender Branch (Buckingham Live)-Tift Merritt

[00:15.78]Once I ran like the wildest horse. [00:20.90]I reached up high and I clinched my fist. [00:27.95]What happened then goes just like this, [00:32.82] [00:33.63]Oh the tender branch is gonna fall. [00:38.06] [00:40.12]I was young and I thought it brave, [00:53.36] [00:54.11]Fighting to find the mystery’s face. [01:00.97]You got to give it a gentler chase, [01:06.90]Cause oh the tender branch is gonna fall. [01:12.14] [01:13.82]Sometimes you fall up these stairs [01:27.18]but it’s a long time ‘fore you know. [01:32.67] [01:35.54]No matter where my heart is now [01:40.22] [01:40.97]there’s a long, long way to go. [01:56.38] [02:14.79]Cause oh the tender branch is gonna fall. [02:19.36] [02:22.43]Sometimes you fall up these stairs [02:27.98]but it’s a long time ‘fore you know. [02:33.41] [02:35.47]No matter where my heart is now [02:40.91] [02:41.53]there’s a long, long way to go. [02:47.71] [02:48.84]There is a church in St Sulpice. [02:53.77] [02:55.15]I’ve seen the pilgrims come to pray. [03:00.51] [03:01.82]I’m gonna lean in hard on that grace, [03:07.81]Cause oh the tender branch is gonna fall.
