Lyrics
Nine Tree Falls
Music & Lyrics: Todd Thibaud
Remember boys about Nine Tree Falls
Well I wanna go down today
Wanna dive to the bottom stones
And just let my sweet life drift away
Well I’ve know times when the winter’s cold
Could rip the life from your chest
And I’ve seen days when the summer sun
Could put your patience to the test
And I don’t care much for writing letters
Feel like I’m torn and tattered
Don’t know the ways I’ve battered all that I’ve love
And I know that I’m just falling, at the feet of the God I’m calling
There ain’t no hope of stalling, I’m running out of room
Well I’ve been out to the Great Divide
I’ve seen the rivers change their ways
Somehow I’ve never quite changed mine
I just pass the time day to day
And I don’t care much for writing letters
Feel like I’m torn and tattered
Don’t know the ways I’ve battered all that I’ve love
And I know that I’m just falling, at the feet of the God I’m calling
There ain’t no use in stalling, I’m running out of room
Instrumental Break
And I don’t care much for writing letters
Feel like I’m torn and tattered
Don’t know the ways I’ve battered all that I’ve love
And I know that I’m just falling, at the feet of the God I’m calling
There ain’t no use in stalling, I’m running out of room
Remember boys about Nine Tree Falls
Well I wanna go down today
Wanna swim to the bottom stones
And just let my sweet life drift away
