Once I ran like the wildest horse
I reached up high and I clinched my fist
What happened then goes just like this
Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall

I was young and I thought it brave
Fighting to find the mysterys face
You got to give it a gentler chase
'Cause oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall

Sometimes you fall up these stairs
Its a long time fore you know
No matter where my heart is now
Theres a long, long way to go

Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall

Sometimes you fall up these stairs
Its a long time fore you know
No matter where my heart is now
Theres a long, long way to go

There is a church in St. Sulpice
Ive seen the [bad word] to pray
Gonna lean in hard on that grace
'Cause oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
