​dogwoods (demo) Eliza McLamb

[Verse 1]
Pews in a palace and who is it for?
He gives all He can but He takes much more
And what is salvation to the sinner who was sinning before he was born?

Taking in the spirit while you're cursing the flesh
Make yourself sick while you're fearing for death
Bypass the suffering and give it up, oh you know that you'll never know best

[Pre-Chorus]
You get hand-me-downs of a faint life
Watch you settle into stone in the meantime
And as you pick off all the bugs from the grapevinе
I wonder if those hands werе made for something so fine

[Chorus]
Dogwoods bloom in [?]
When I close my eyes I can see them fall from the trees to the land that raised you
You will grieve, oh you'll grieve for it all

[Verse 2]
I was told God made me to behave
Angelic in the lap of a divorcée
She says, "Honey you know you saved me, I pray over you every day"

Well, I've never seen Jesus that way
But I get close looking in the face
Of grandfathers leaving their legacy in fields of cotton and whey
