TV ON THE RADIO LYRICS - Family Tree

"Family Tree"



Under my love

Wake up to your window

The day calls in billows

It's echoing moonlight on to the blue nightmare of your heart

In cosy red rainbow

It's shaking off halos

And the memory of our sacred so and so's



Oh take my hand sweet

Complete your release and bury your feet

And married we'll be

Alone in receiving ours is a feeling not that they would see

They don't know that we could be

That way your cradle escaped the sea

And your raven haired Mama cought told you so's



Were laying in the shadow of your family tree

Your haunted heart and me

Brought down by an old idea whose time has come

And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree

There's a hundred hearts soar free

Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young



Ah me all mine

Is it safe to say that we've waited patiently

Call me on time

And recall the tune that has place us gracefully

All into line

There's the garden grave and a place they've saved for you

I'll fall by your side

Though your silver haired Mama throws told you so's



Were laying in the shadow of your family tree

Your haunted heart and me

Brought down by an old idea whose time has come

And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree

There's a hundred hearts soar free

Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young



And now we'll gather in the shadow of your family tree

In haunted harmony

Brought down by an old idea whose time has come

And in the shadow of the valley of your family tree

There's a hundred hearts soar free

Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep us young
