lyrics

Branches sprout doubts and clues come from clouds
No one dare say what they’re thinking out loud
No meetings held, no rioting crowds
What you refuse to believe can remain in a shroud

We raised a family, and they raised one too
We’d meet up on weekends for something to do
Then comes the work week, the kids off to school
So no one was home when it all came unglued

They cut the wrong tree, they cut the wrong tree
And now there’s nothing left for me
They cut the wrong tree, they cut the wrong tree
And where’s my family, where’s my family?

A friend comes around, I ask, “what did you see?”
He said “no one saw through them, before they sawed through the trees
We sent out a call for some hornets and bees..
Why don’t you come stay at our place for a night or two or three?”

They cut the wrong tree, they cut the wrong tree
And now there’s nothing left for me
They cut the wrong tree, they cut the wrong tree
And where’s my family, where’s my family?

There’s so much anguish, I need to let go
I’ve got so much sadness, I’ll never let show
Maybe I’ll sit and seethe in the snow
Maybe I’ll cry when I see the moon’s glow
