In the afternoon of orange blossom days
Hummingbirds rest above where we lay
You say it's ok, no need to fret
The weight of it all, will ease as we find
The balance in each step we make
Swinging back'n forth, in a Palo Verde tree
The wind in the needles, hushes you asleep
And even with the strain, your heart remains
And don't doubt why, darlin'
In time you will find
We're alright we were born
Like the branch to bend and not to break
Reconcile and resurrect
Tombstone rose
Growing up and over the gates
To where our children play
The future wraps round like vines, inside these arms
Break: (Oh's )
Darlin' will you say
In our final embrace
Before returning 'neath the clay
After all that your heart still remains
