Lyrics to Sapling

[Verse 1]

I remember way back when

I felt only ennui

Like nothing could complete me

No promise of a rising sun

Illuminating everyone

The very thought defeated

My life was a blinding light

Must be what it's like when worlds collide

Especially when he sees her

Pretty soon, he'll tease her

I was on the road too long

My laboured lover, only song

Not one of them a keeper



[Chorus]

But if I woke in the morning to find you werе gone

I know I'd try and find the will to be strong

But am I strong еnough?

Am I strong enough?

I once built a bower, I could build you a home

Together forever, but forever and on is still not long enough

It's still not long enough



[Verse 2]

I know the fear was in your eyes

And I could see myself as a child

Such a devastating feeling

I wished I could go back in time

But all I could do was apologise

Right then, your eyes were healing

Healing



[Chorus]

Oh, if I woke in the morning to find you were gone

I know I'd try and find the will to be strong

But am I strong enough?

Am I strong enough?

I once built a bower, I could build you a home

Together forever, but forever and on is still not long enough

It's still not long enough



[Bridge]

Oh, I've been Cain, but I wanna be Abel

Been a drunken fool

But I wanted to be stable enough to lay every one of my cards on the table

Hope it's not too late for us to find a way to



[Chorus]

If I woke in the morning to find you were gone

I know I'd try and find the will to be strong

But am I strong enough?

Am I strong enough?

I once built a bower, I could build you a home

Together forever, but forever and on is still not long enough

It's still not long enough



[Outro]

I went looking inside myself for a home

Found only a sapling in search of an oak

But it's a start, my love

Oh, it's a start, my love

But am I strong enough?
