That's How Roots Work ---------------------------- The cedar's hissing in the grate Dusk comes in, you fill the room The smell of wet clay My roots could hold in you You tend it, I tend it If you let up, don't you come lookin' for me I tend it, you tend it That's how roots work Some mornings your grip goes slack in mine So mine unwinds in tune As slow as the creek falls My roots could hold in you You tend it, I tend it If you let go, don't you come lookin' for me I tend it, you tend it That's how roots work Each day you leave a red branch on the steps You stack cedar by the stove What you feed in me won't cool My roots do hold in you You tend it, I tend it If you let go, don't you come lookin' for me I tend it, you tend it That's how roots work.
