《Better For Us》歌词

[00:00:01] Better For Us - Grant Lee Buffalo

[00:00:15] Soon we'll count the rings inside all one by one

[00:00:25] Wondering if I could point to the place

[00:00:30] Where we first slept 'neath it's branches

[00:00:35] Oh oh

[00:00:38] Leaves once rose like an ocean

[00:00:42] We swam when we were boys

[00:00:47] This one was all things a mansion a fortress

[00:00:52] And as we matured it was shade for

[00:00:57] The secrets that we passed along

[00:01:03] But this oak has grown old wither-wrung

[00:01:08] It threatens to fall

[00:01:13] Better for us if the axe splits the trunk they say

[00:01:17] On your tip toes a tenpenny nail

[00:01:22] Jutting high in the bark

[00:01:27] Relics of tree houses built and torn down

[00:01:32] Places we hid after dark oh

[00:01:39] Oh

[00:01:40] Please please lend some belief to this

[00:01:45] Hard wasted ground

[00:01:50] Where little green soldiers and Indians fought

[00:01:55] This is the burial mound of

[00:02:00] My youth and my innocence

[00:02:06] This oak has grown old wither-wrung

[00:02:11] It threatens to fall

[00:02:15] Better for us if the axe splits the trunk they say

[00:02:48] Better for us

[00:02:50] Better for us

[00:02:58] Better for us

[00:03:00] Better for us yeah

[00:03:07] Better for us

[00:03:10] Better for us
