Lyrics

[00:17.55] This is where we fall
[00:20.39] Sleepers scattered in the soil
[00:23.06] A finger deep, dragged through the ground
[00:25.75] A blessed thought in harrowed halls
[00:28.86] We could think of nothing else
[00:31.49] But what our patch of earth contained
[00:34.00] Reminded by our dirt-stained clothes
[00:36.93] Of planted possibility
[00:40.02] In tender ground, as bare as birth
[00:45.91] A shoot emerged from beneath the earth
[00:51.50] Mary, Mary, tell me how your garden grows
[00:56.17] Tell me what it takes to come alive, to see what you have sown
[01:01.71] Cuz I've grown into the ground and there are branches in my bones
[01:07.19] I am overgrown
[01:12.93] I am overgrown
[01:30.73] Between two branches, a rope and tire we cast
[01:36.01] Between two worlds, each one higher than the last
[01:41.60] I chose the air, chose higher still and left an Eden, found
[01:46.95] But in abandon, lost my grip, and shattered, chose the ground
[01:53.18] In unkept chaos, as bare as birth
[01:58.64] A garden, grey, of tangled earth
[02:03.30] Mary, Mary, tell me how your garden grows
[02:07.60] Tell me what it takes to come alive, to see what you have sown
[02:13.08] Cuz I've grown into the ground and there are branches in my bones
[02:19.15] I am overgrown
[02:26.11] I've been lying here too long
[02:31.44] The branches pushing me apart where weakness showed
[02:36.82] But then September swept the overcast aside
[02:41.46] Dusted off the winter's curse, and she cut me through like knives
[02:59.47] She whistled proudly her season's song
[03:04.95] And showed me that I was alive all along
[03:09.51] Mary, Mary, tell me how your garden grows
[03:13.87] Tell me what it takes to come alive, to see what you have sown
[03:19.63] Cuz I've grown into the ground and there are branches in my bones
[03:24.94] I am overgrown
[03:30.77] I am overgrown
