Family Tree - TV On The Radio

Under my love

Wake up to your window

The day calls in billows

It’s echoing moonlight onto the blue nightmare of your heart

In cozy red rainbow

It’s shaking off halos

And the memory of our sacred so and so

Oh, take my hand sweet

Complete your release, unbury your feet

And married we’ll be

Alone in receiving ours is a feeling not that they would see

They don’t know that we could be

Down where your cradle escaped the sea

And your raven haired mama caught told you so’s

We’re hanging in the shadow of your family tree

Your haunted heart and me

Brought down by an old idea whose time has come

And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree

There’s a hundred hearts or three

Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young

Ah me all mine

Is it safe to say that we’ve waited patiently

Call me on time

And recall the tune that has placed us gracefully

All into line

There’s a garden grave and a place there saved for me

I fall by your side

Though your silver haired mama throws told you so’s

We’re hanging in the shadow of your family tree

Your haunted heart and me

Brought down by an old idea whose time has come

And in the shadow of the gallows of your family tree

There’s a hundred hearts or three

Pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young

And now we’re gathered in the shadow of your family tree

In halted harmony

Brought down by an old idea whose time has come

And in the shadow of the valley of your family tree

There’s a hundred hearts or three

Pumping blood to the roots of Eden to keep us young
