Weigh Down These Branches (Live in Wichita Falls, TX)

from The Hayley Session by Brian Jin

/

about

One of the highlights from our album YOU ARE THE MOON. It is a prayer and a folk tale all in one. Kelly Kintner has been in the room for both this and the studio recording. He and Keri performed for the album version, and this time around Kelly engineered the live performance.

lyrics

O Angel, O Angel, O Goddess of Night Crawl on my floor and bless me with your light Dirty my memories and broken my heart Set me toward what I should tear apart Thirsty your waters come down from the sky Tell me, O one of the night, why you cry Layers of feathers and silk in your bed But who will account for the tears that you shed On your way down weigh down these branches Your fingers linger, your lashes bat down striking like matches Tell me the story of your passion O Angel, O Angel, O transient soul Tell me what I can and cannot control Drift down to me with your merciful air Of which every creature should be so aware My blood rise and fall with the pull of your tide And if you release me I surely will die Rise not thine eyes and turn not thee away But for my salvation you surely must stay On your way down weigh down these branches Your fingers linger, your lashes bat down striking like matches Tell me the story of your passion On your way down weigh down these branches The gospels and old time romances Bless us and keep us in dances O Angel, tell me your passion
