they say that she has given up on love
but that’s not exactly the case
she just prefers the company of trees
kicking up the leaves in the forest
kicking up the leaves watch them floating
‘round like birds
floating ‘round like words unspoken
one leaf for a teardrop
two leaves for the seed
three leaves for the bleeding
four leaves for the memories
five leaves for the mess he left
six leaves for the tree
seven leaves for a little baby who’s
looking down from the heavens
given up on love they say she’s
given up on love
but that’s not exactly the case
she just prefers the company of birds
flitting ‘round like leaves in the forest
flitting ‘round like leaves watch them
floating on the breeze
floating ‘round like words unspoken
one leaf for a teardrop
two leaves for the seed
three leaves for the bleeding
four leaves for the memories,
five leaves for the mess he left
six leaves for the tree
seven leaves for a little baby who’s
looking down from the heavens
sometimes we don’t get to choose who
enters inside our bodies and our minds
bearing fruit of someone else’s crime
in nine months’ time
one leaf for a teardrop
two leaves for the seed
three leaves for the bleeding
four leaves for the memories
five leaves for the mess he left
six leaves for the tree
seven leaves for a little baby
one leaf for a teardrop
two leaves for the seed
three leaves for the bleeding
four leaves for the memories
five leaves for the mess he left
six leaves for the tree
seven leaves for a little baby
kicking up the leaves yeheee
for a little baby
hey hey hey
one leaf for a teardrop
two leaves for the seed
three leaves for the bleeding
four leaves
for the memory
kicking up the leaves
