Lyrics

Branches

[Verse] How we would wake up warming In the morning by the kerosene Outside the banks were forming Like an ocean of evangeline [Chorus] I live and dream You live and dream In the branches of the evergreen [Verse] We take Betsy walking In the back field by the lumber yard Sammy cut worms with bare hands And I loved him with all of my heart [Chorus] I live and dream You live and dream In the branches of the еvergreen I live and dream You livе and dream In the branches of the evergreen [Verse] Crossing the ice a [?] And the dogs were a-howling And you said the tram You said the tram You said the tram would come soon With a breath that was flowering [Chorus] I live and dream You live and dream In the branches of the evergreen I live and dream You live and dream In the branches of the evergreen
