Last Trees of Heaven

Broken legs
Sun dried on a picket fence
The stone's been flung
The trial's begun, where have you been?

After the moon has left
After the stars
After the president burns your guitars
After your sweetheart chokes on your blood
The last trees of heaven grow after the flood

Open your text books , turn to the page
The spirit's been hidden between highways and plague
But the seed that will feed has been stuck in the mud
The last trees of heaven grow after the flood
But the branches have broken and cupped in your hand
The fruit that has fallen’s been sucked from the strand
The weather has lifted , the feathers have dried
And flung from your pocket
Like the sand from the tide , like the sun from the night
They left you in darkness , no promise of light
But the crescent is winking
Look straight above
The last trees of heaven grow after the flood

Broken legs
Sun dried on a picket fence
The stone's been flung
The trial's begun, where have you been?
