JBM - Crooked Branches lyrics

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
