Tender Branch Lyrics

Once I ran like the wildest horse I reached up high and I clinched my fist What happened then goes just like this Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
I was young and I thought it brave Fighting to find the mystery’s face You got to give it a gentler chase 'Cause oh, the tender branch is gonna fall Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
Sometimes you fall up these stairs It’s a long time ‘fore you know No matter where my heart is now There’s a long, long way to go
Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
Sometimes you fall up these stairs It’s a long time ‘fore you know No matter where my heart is now There’s a long, long way to go
There is a church in St. Sulpice I’ve seen the pilgrims come to pray Gonna lean in hard on that grace 'Cause oh, the tender branch is gonna fall Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
