Hush

In the afternoon of orange blossom days Hummingbirds rest above where we lay You say it's ok, no need to fret The weight of it all will ease as we find The balance in each step we make Swinging back n' forth in a palo verde tree The wind in the needles hushes you asleep Even with the strain, your heart remains Don't doubt why darlin' In time you will find we're alright we were born Like the branch to bend and not to break Reconcile and resurrect, tombstone rose Growing up and over the gates to where our children play The future wraps 'round like vines Inside these arms Darlin' will you say in our final embrace Before returning 'neath the clay After all that your heart still remains
