Tift Merritt - Tender Branch lyrics

Once I ran like the wildest horse. I reached up high and I clinched my fist. What happened then goes just like this, Oh the tender branch is gonna fall. I was young and I thought it brave, Fighting to find the mystery’s face. You got to give it a gentler chase, Cause oh the tender branch is gonna fall. Sometimes you fall up these stairs, but it’s a long time ‘fore you know. No matter where my heart is now, there’s a long, long way to go. There is a church in St Sulpice. I’ve seen the pilgrims come to pray. I’m gonna lean in hard on that grace, Cause oh the tender branch is gonna fall.
