Will Breman - Olive Trees lyrics

Artist: Will Breman

album: Santa Barbara Soul Music


I just finished decorating the house
It's only a block from the main street
And high enough on a hill to see
The most lively sunsets at the beach
I got a couple olive trees in the garden
And the bookshelf is stocked
To keep us talking about Milton
And Jane Austen and Annie Dillard for centuries
It's everything we were hoping it would be
I just wish that you were here to see
Do you remember looking at the stars
And we told each other our bizarre dreams
I wanted to make it trying to sing
And you dreamt of killing it on the stage
Well now I'm finally seeing my side happen
We're gonna tour the whole country
And the only thing that would make it worthwhile
Is if you were here living the dream with me
But you were too afraid of the unknown
And you left before we ever got to take those risks at all
Oh you were too afraid of the unknown
And you left before we ever got to take those risks at all
I'm not a smart man
It's plain to see
But I know you did better than I ever could at loving me
And now all these things that I have here
They carry no meaning
Cause without you, they're just a bunch of useless knickknacks
And a couple olive trees
A couple olive trees
Whose leaves I knew that you had loved so much
But you never told me why
So I never fully understood
But I planted them anyways in case
By the grace of God
You ever came back
So they would be there waiting
For you to love
I'm not a smart man
It's plain to see
But I know you did better than I ever could at loving me
And now all these things that I have here
They carry no meaning
Cause without you, they're just a bunch of useless knickknacks
And a couple olive trees
