Bill Callahan - Sycamore lyrics

There's sap in the trees if you tap 'em
There's blood on the seas if you map 'em
Christian, if you see your papa
Tell him I love him
He taught me to love in the
Wild and fight in the gym
He taught me the bottle gives
Birth to the cup
And you won't get hurt if you
Just keep your hands up
And stand tall like sycamores like sycamores
Like sycamores

Sycamore got to grow down to grow up
Young roots toil the soil
Like baby's first cup
And when they bend you in two
And say too green for the fire
When all you want to do is
Be a part of the fire
All you want to do is be
The fire part of fire like sycamores
Like sycamores like sycamores

There's sap in the trees if you tap 'em
There's blood on the seas if you map 'em
Christian, when I see your papa
I'll tell him you love him
And remember to love in the wild
And fight in the gym
Remember the bottle gives birth to the cup
And you won't get hurt if you
Just keep your hands up
And stand tall like sycamores like sycamores
Like sycamores
