Song for the Poplars by Erin Saoirse Adair Lyrics

Your thoughts crush my eyelids
As they struggle to open
Like the cracks upon the street
That give birth to life

As we walk like the morning
That comes from this night
The parting of your lips
Breaks illusion from reality

And your smile is like the mist after the rain
And like the winter calls the snow
You called me and I came

These footsteps have brought you here
And like a poplar tree, you're lofty and far-sighted
But I'll trip on your roots and run towards what I fear
My words are overshadowed
By the last ones you recited

And what holds you back is this hardness
But underneath this this amend
There are years that hold forests in memory
And times that were pure
So like children, let's dance in this season of tears
So like children, let's dance in this season of tears
