lyrics

i got a brother whose name is hungry
he lives up there in the cold north country
picking honey from the honey bees
picking honey from the honey bees
i got a sister whose name is crazy
she wanders the mountains picking daisies
seems theres more than words can say
seems theres more than words can say
my family is gone
moved to the woods
and i guess i should
do the same
theres nothing left here
but a world of shame
and my heart is there, in the trees,
every holiday, i spend it in the leaves
and my mama says, you are mine
but you’re stuck in
the machinery of a cold city
and she’s right i guess, i mean its lonely
here in bed, with no one to hold me
and hardly doin’ what its common to
and she’s right i guess i mean its tiresome
living a lie that id desire for nobody,
least of all, for you
