Air so thick with water
Oh, I can barely breathe
And I wipe the sweat off my brow
And I rise to my feet
It's been a long few days
Since I've left the house
Curled up in its comforts
No way to get out
It's been a hot, hot summer
Cold inside my heart
Somewhere in the middle
On the verge of falling apart
But through the trees
Oh, I can hear her sing
Wind strikes her cold
Blowing through the leaves
Through the trees
What speaks to me?
And I never heard a song so sweet
Toe tapping babe
Say the words and I'll be at your feet
My love
I spin the cap off the bottle
Pour myself a tall glass
Walking barefoot through the yard
My toes between wet grass
The sun shines like a spotlight
On everything I've done
Everything I lost
All the grief that I've won
Through the trees
Oh, I can hear her sing
The wind strikes her cold
Blowing through the leaves
Through the trees
What speaks to me?
And I never heard a song so sweet
Toe tapping, babe
Say the words and I'll be at your feet
My love
