lyrics

See that forest in the back, walk through it was you go
You'll recall it wasn't there when you left fifty years ago
You kicked up dust like powdered rust a cloud above us formed
It did not rain but in my pain an ocean from eyes did flow

Salt tears watered the dirt floor, a vacant heart made room to grow
Spite it bloomed the brambles with more contempt than I could mow
Hate weeded the weeds out, my love for you in tow
I cried a forest after you

If you catch that poplar fluff and brush it cross your tongue
A taste misplaced of ocean air with waft down
through your lungs the soundscape stained with whale
songs echoes your son's remorse
when you skipped town his words were drowned these
moans his only recourse
Salt tears watered the dirt floor, a vacant heart made room to grow
Spite it bloomed the brambles with more contempt than I could mow
Hate weeded the weeds out, my love for you in tow
I cried a forest after you

I thought that you wouldn't leave us anything at all
I was wrong cuz look at this
It's here because you're gone
