Sycamore - Bill Callahan

There’s sap in the trees if you tap 'em

There’s blood on the seas if you map 'em

Christian, if you see your papa, tell him I love him

He taught me to love in the wild and fight in the gym

He taught me the bottle gives birth to the cup

And you won’t get hurt if you just keep your hands up

And stand tall like sycamores

Sycamore got to grow down to grow up

Young roots toil the soil like baby’s first cup

And when they bend you in two

And say too green for the fire

When all you want to do is be a part of the fire

All you want to do is be the fire part of fire

Like sycamores

There’s sap in the trees if you tap 'em

There’s blood on the seas if you map 'em

Christian, when I see your papa, I’ll tell him you love him

And remember to love in the wild and fight in the gym

Remember the bottle gives birth to the cup

And you won’t get hurt if you just keep your hands up

And stand tall like sycamores
