[Verse 1] Black suits in the redwood hush Masks hung on a silver nail Laugh lines Power ties Tired eyes Whiskey warm and faces pale They pass the matches Joke in Latin Burn their troubles in the leaves Carved initials in the bark say “Nothing here So nothing leaves” [Chorus] Bohemian Grove Where the fires talk low Where the branches bend ’Round the secrets you know Bohemian Grove Where the stars lean close If these trees could speak They would never let go [Verse 2] Old songs on a cracked cassette Played under a painted owl Stories traded like old coins Oaths exchanged in a friendly growl They raise a glass to endless summer Toast the shadows at their feet Promise each other they’ll remember What they swore they’d never repeat [Chorus] Bohemian Grove Where the fires talk low Where the branches bend ’Round the secrets you know Bohemian Grove Where the stars lean close If these trees could speak They would never let go [Bridge] Would you walk that path with me Past the gate Past what you see If I tell you what I saw Will it change a single law Or just haunt you when you dream Glow of embers in the stream [Chorus] Bohemian Grove Where the fires talk low Where the branches bend ’Round the secrets you know Bohemian Grove Where the stars lean close If these trees could speak They would never let go
