Fruit trees you dug up when we had to leave
your garden was not to be
I'm sorry about the asparagus

Escape, let's find us a brand new place
We'll build a new orchard, ok?
With apples and apricots, I'm so embarrassed

Chorus:
Deep roots grow biggest vision
I pray that our trees will come to fruition
and maybe this time, we'll settle down and grow

New leaves I've turned over so many
I don't think I always see
the wonder and beauty of where I am

stay here just till the view is clear
just til the buds appear
from out of our winter of broken plans

Chorus

Fruit trees you dug up are
still waiting to be planted
what if they die along the way?

Chorus
