The Cedar
Sometimes the summer comes in strides The shining sun abates the need to hide Refreshing air soothes a tired sky It warms the earth and makes way for evening light
But I told you not to run to me I told you that it would be hard to breathe
Sometimes the summer sun beats down So harsh upon the living on the ground And so the cedar dies inside It calls aloud for help with desperate cries
Yet I told you not to run to me I told you that you would not want to see
I told you not to run to me I told you I would break your fragile heart But now I'm left just standing here All alone in a room with broken mirrors Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
I'm forced to reckon with myself But there's nothing left to wreck but love itself
I told you not to run to me I told you to be strong with straightened knees But still I find I long for you Arms stretched like broken branches for you to use
Sometimes the cedar rots away Lays bare its chest and gives its final day What once stood tall and strong and proud Now lays soft and broken on the ground
But still I told you not to run to me I told you to go roam, grow tall and free But we followed suit like the cedar roots And now we too lay humbled; misconstrued
