lyrics

Uprooted

He tilled the land sweetly
soil lay beneath me
dryer than a rusty nail
Put in the hours
Tendin’ the flowers
While I sat and prayed for rain

Oooooh, OooOoooh.

And all of my world stopped
Abreast on a hilltop
Aglow in a golden ray of sun
Thinking he knew me
He hastily withdrew me
And found a fruit ridden with holes.

Honey you (ooooooh)
Have uprooted me.

And he gave me hope (he gave me hope)
That I had a home (that I had a home)
In his dusty boots
And callous hands
Swallow my roots (swallow my roots)
It’s all of no use (all of no use)
Now that the consequence has bared its’ teeth.
And you (ooooooh)
Honey you (oooooh)
Have uprooted me.
