Stem the Flow Songtext
von Brother Hill

Stem the flow,
Water my roots
Feel my bark all over you

I′ll be gone be—
Fore too soon, so
Lie with me ol' girl, as my passing looms

I miss the times
When in my branches you would climb
And in my canopy you′d stay throughout the night

Stem the flow,
Water my roots
Feel my bark all over you


I've watched you grow
From your youth, though
You don't seek my shade like you used to

I remember the song
Of a sparrow gone so long
Who would return to me every season then fly free
But that was fifty blooms ago,
Though my branches continue to spread & grow,
The deeper my roots go, the more i know
My time has come

Stem the flow, baby,
Water my roots
Feel my bark all over you

The Age of the Ash has
Come and passed, now
All i want is to feel that lass within my leaves
