You Are A Palm Tree Lyrics

Bellows You Are A Palm Tree

Can you be kind?
Walk with me to the corner store
Yellow cans of 24's
We're fighting in the yard
That's what it takes to be your bud

Can you be kind?
Remembering your simple smile
Upper lip that shrinks inside
Behind the crooked glow
The parts of you I cannot know

And if you show your face, I won't be afraid
Nothing's hidden now in the dark
And if you show your face, I won't be afraid
If you show me who you are

Cause you are a palm tree, like me, not quite shady
A palm tree, like me, not quite shady

Can you be kind?
And do you fit these changing clothes?
The parts of me you do not know?
And can we let it go, the limping life we sing at shows?

And if you show your face, I won't be afraid
Nothing's hidden now in the dark
And if you show your face, I won't be afraid
If you show me who you are

Cause you are a palm tree, like me, not quite shady
A palm tree, like me, not quite shady
Apart, we start, we race in dark rooms
Apart, we start, we race in dark rooms
