It Tapped on the Leaves

from Find Me in the Dark by Brian Bulger

/

lyrics

I see your face in the water, the water and the trees
When did we once call you daughter, sister of peace?
And I stand here, and I shiver, I shiver in the cold
And I open my eyes, to the picture that I used to know

Children we walk to the flowers, covered in rose
I'm closing my hands like a coward, to carry this ghost
And I stand here, and I shiver, I shiver in the cold
And I open my eyes to the picture, the picture you hold

Joseph your brother is smiling, holding your hand
Raised him like a mother, you listened, to understand
And you stand there, and you shiver, shiver in the cold
He was so scared, but you covered him, precious as gold
Precious as gold

I heard when it tapped on the leaves, and covered our home
This rain of our fears poured down, and overflowed
And we stood there, and we shivered, shivered in the cold
And with all of my books and my figures, I should have known
I should have known

I'm searching the water and trees for the sound of your voice
Stood in your grass and I listened, but now it's just noise
God, I stand here and I shiver, I shiver in the cold
And I open my eyes to the sister that I used to know
