Three Golden Trees
Golden Memories and Broken Trust: Frazey Ford's Poetic Reflections
Lyrics
You carried me up and over the water
You supported me and carried me across the water.
In a white dress covered in rust
In a white dress that's become stained and tarnished.
And I folded into your shoulder
I leaned into your shoulder for comfort.
All through the flood
Throughout a challenging time or disaster.
There were three golden trees over Beulah
There were three prominent beautiful trees in Beulah.
And three new graves in the sun
And three recent graves exposed to sunlight.
We sat together on the horizon
We were together, contemplating the distant line where the sky meets the earth.
There was so much we lost
We experienced significant losses.
And I hang on your footsteps
I'm following in your footsteps.
And I speak your name
I'm repeatedly saying your name.
Are you really the sort of person
Questioning your character.
Are you really the sort of person
Doubting your integrity or behavior.
Who would treat me this way?
Expressing hurt or surprise at your treatment towards me.
Welcome to the end of our trust
Acknowledging the conclusion of our trust in each other.
If you must, if you must
Accepting this ending, if it's necessary.
Oh, welcome to the end of our trust
Accepting the finality of our broken trust.
If you must, if you must
Repeating the acceptance of this end, if required.
I never wanted to show you
Never intended to reveal certain aspects or feelings to you.
All those things
Keeping certain thoughts or emotions hidden.
I was tired, and getting over
Fatigued and recovering from prolonged difficult times.
Long seasons of rain
Enduring extended periods of hardship.
And who are you
Questioning the significance of your departure.
To take yourself away?
Expressing disbelief or shock at your actions.
I can't believe what I'm hearing
Surprised or shocked by what I'm hearing from you.
Are you really the sort of person
Repeating the doubt about your character.
Who would treat me this way?
Expressing hurt or surprise at your treatment towards me, again.
Welcome to the end of our trust
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the end of trust.
If you must, if you must
Reiterating the acceptance of this ending, if required.
Oh
Emphasizing the end of trust.
Welcome to the end of our trust
Re-emphasizing the finality of our broken trust.
If you must, if you must
Repeating the acceptance of this end, if required.
If you must, if you must
Reiterating the resignation or acceptance of an end, if necessary.
