Know this house that I call home Her gentle milk was happy just to flow No better tomcats took their licks in turn Some branches fall to open arms Some paradises are a prayer too far God's in the treetop making mockingbirds If I could choose, I would do things right Teach my dreams to look me in the eye Sing my heart out into my hands Shine where light demands When I lose my feet in my father's shoes When I take your flesh with my false tooth When I bend until I break in two Call me a fool being green In the leaves of the world The leaves of the world The wind blows all the wild away This house was kind as every hiding place Bones are the hardest offering to burn That dog will bark, though no one's there This man went mad breaking his easy chair Sing me the softest heart I ever heard It's only right how this trail goes cold Moonlight gliding through our empty clothes Know I'm warm when a cloud rolls by Rolling right for sky When I lose my feet in my father's shoes When I take your flesh with my false tooth When I bend until I break in two Call me a fool being green In the leaves of the world The leaves of the world
