Where The Birch Trees Lean Lyrics - Through The Trees - Handsome Family

Now that there are green sprouts pushing through dead leaves 

And fat yellow jackets float on the breeze 

The waves kiss the shore and the air is warm 

But birch trees are falling now that you're gone 

Once we walked the crumbling cliffs 

Where the birch trees lean 

Once I kissed your apple lips 

High above the sea 

A year ago it was since the last clover grew 

Under creaking birch trees I would wait for you 

We kissed in the salt air beneath the leaning trees 

White slender branches bent to the sea 

Once we walked the crumbling cliffs 

Where the birch trees lean 

Now who will kiss your apple lips under the salty sea
