Block Of Wood Lyrics - Love Loss Hope Repeat - Carbon Leaf

Grab your heart 

We need to leave 

There's no time to cry or grieve 

For the fallen family tree 

Rise above the flooding plain 

Crouching low to dark the flame 

Generations against the grain 

Up in smoke, down the drain 

If the fire, if the flood 

Burns the tree and thins the blood 

If your tears don't want to dry 

I can help you cry 

Through the night 

Through the night and day 

I can't take your pain away 

But I can help you cry 

Cut the branch from this tree 

Carve a place for you and me 

Wooden seat that we can string 

From a branch where we can swing 

We'll take this block of wood 

Carve it down, sand it good 

When finished it will be 

Souvenir of the family tree 

And if the fire, if the flood 

Burns the tree and thins the blood 

If your tears don't want to dry 

I can help you cry 

Through the night 

Through the night and day 

I can't take your pain away 

But I can help you cry 

Through the night 

Through the night and day 

I can't take your pain away 

I can try 

But God help me please 

Come save the family tree 

My friends are broken all 

When falling off the wall 

In the ash, I found an ember 

Something warm to help remember 

A block of wood that used to be 

A strong tall family tree 

A strong tall family tree 

Blowing in the breeze 

Cry through the night 

Through the night and day 

I can't take your pain away 

But I can help you cry 

Through the night 

Through the night and day 

I can't take your pain away 

But I can help you cry
