between the trees.

There's this band my friend introduced me to: Between the Trees. The name of the band should be enough for me to absolutely fall in love with them, but they have captured my attention with their musicality and lyrics... I find that I always end up putting one song on repeat when I'm listening to a new cd and I've found it on this one. I'd like to share the lyrics with you because they speak to me personally. To you it may be different, but to me... well... I think you'll understand.

Between the Trees
"you cry a tear to start a river"

So stand close to me
Don't sail away, baby
Let them see your heart
Let 'em see just how beautiful you are

So you head on down
To the bottom near the river
Just to wash away
All the pain of today and yesterday
And you try so hard
To wash away the spots
But your tears
Don't seem to do enough
It's just too much
Well, darling grab a hand
We promise not to let you stand alone

You're like nobody else, you see
Nothing less than any girl in your magazine
Don't you know you're special?
You're really something special
Baby

So you look into
You look into the water
And there you are
Just the way you left yourself
All alone
But lift your head
And look across the water
'Cause there you'll see
All of us together singing
Darling grab a hand
We promise not to let you stand alone

Darling grab a hand
We won't let you go
Darling grab a hand
We promise not to let you stand alone
