The sweat slides off your skin
And follows your hands
As they sink into the dirt
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I watch you from a window
And I hear your silent
Communion with the earth
One day
I'll ask you
To grow me
An olive tree
Rain comes at night
Reluctant at first
Then loud and strong
Then loud and strong
Gushing out of air
Thick with thirst
I can finally breathe
At least until the next sleepless night
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Tonight I'll dream
That you planted me
An olive tree
One day
I'll ask you
To grow me
An olive tree
One day I'll ask you
One day I'll ask you
One day I'll ask you
One day
I'll ask you
To grow me
An olive tree
