Crooked Branches

In the afternoon of a summer day
I saw you walking in the lake
Yellow dress soaked up to your waist
Into the sun he led you by the hand
Smoothing for you out the sand
Nearly dying from the love he felt
But he smiled to be alive
And to know you're nearly dying
From it too

In your life gone ablaze
He held you high out of the flames
Heaven knows you've seen
The worst of things
But in his eyes the calm awakes
In you the child who lost it's way
To sail you from your
Growing up sea of pain
And I swear it when you smile
That you still look like a child to me

No matter if the rain falls on you
