Greenwoods Bethlehem

(album: Red Earth & Pouring Rain - 2016)

We ran through the Greenwoods Bethlehem
When the rain came
How the rain came
We hide our love beneath the trees
They gave us shelter
Gave us shade

Can we please just talk it over, love?
Won't you help me out
With all of these things that I can't talk about
Things we're both so afraid of
Don't you leave me out here alone
Please don't leave me out here alone

So many things I tried to tell you
So many things I tried to say
But my words all fall like empires
Into the ocean
Like an ancient language
We both used to know,
Only you and I used to know.
It's no longer spoken.

Now it only rains
Out in the shade
Where our shelter used to be
Alone in the dark
By the Greenwoods Bethlehem
Baby I just fall at your feet

I still love you now as I always did
Broken promises tore us apart
I used to know you well
You used to know me well
But I lost you somewhere
Somewhere I slept [?]

So many things I tried to tell you
So many things I tried to say
But my words all fall like empires
Into the ocean
Like an ancient language
We both used to know,
Only you and I used to know.
It's no longer spoken.

Now it only rains
Out in the shade
Where our shelter used to be
Alone in the dark
By the Greenwoods Bethlehem
Baby I just fall at your feet

Now it only rains
Out in the shade
Where our shelter used to be
Alone in the dark
Of the Greenwoods Bethlehem
Baby I just fall at your feet

Things are different love
Between you and I
Still call out your name
Through the cold of my days
And through the heat of the night,
Through the heat of the night,
Through the heat of the night,
Through the heat of the night.

Now it only rains
Out in the shade
Where our shelter used to be
Alone in the dark
Of the Greenwoods Bethlehem
Baby I just fall at your feet

Now it only rains
Out in the shade
Where our shelter used to be
Alone in the dark
Of the Greenwoods Bethlehem
Baby I just fall at your feet
