Andrew Huang - Trees lyrics

[Verse 1] Way back when the forest was a tree You knelt down and kissed us tenderly And from the dew, far as the eye could see Grew the grapes, grew the grapes A vintage sweeter than the finest flora On a tongue so sharp, it came and almost tore you And in the place that we now know as california We fell asleep, fell asleep [Chorus] Mother, were you weeping when the sun went down? Mother, did you hold us in your arms? Are we sorry enough? [Verse 2] We used the sun and starlight as a tent The legends and inventions came and went A hundred thousand years were scored and spent Digging graves, digging graves If we dreamt, we only dreamt serenely But when we woke, the sound was all machinery And everybody made it look so easy To be calm, to be calm [Chorus] Mother, were you weeping when the sun went down? Mother, did you hold us in your arms? Mother, will you show us how to mend the scraps Of this bridal Gown? [Verse 3] Pour your wine on your tablecloths and clothes Raise a gla** for our glorious, scoffing toast Here's one for the jowls of our host We'll let her weep, let her weep
