Description
This beautiful ballad was written and performed by my sister and partner in Left Coast Country, Karen Valdez. This is a bare bones acoustic version of a song we have not previously recorded.
Lyrics
Broken leaves twisting on a broken breeze, beautiful filigrees of rust One in hand but thousands laying on the land, so easily crushed Stand by while the wind sweeps them clear Never stand a chance, as long as they stay here Old man tree leaning on a busted knee, kind of holding on in hope Proud and strong, might have hung around a little too long Now he's sliding down the slope Still he's gonna try to keep himself alive Still he's gonna try, for life, for life, for life, for life Everybody falls, everybody hides Everyone cries forgiveness when they're pulling against the tide Everybody loves, everybody tempts the fates Catch us when we fall, find us when we hide Hear us when we cry forgiveness, help us pull against the tide Love us when we love, save us when we tempt the fates
