She left her heart in the broken branches above me in the leaves
And she built a home in the lofty throes to guard it 
Underneath a sky that was blowing a breeze
I watched as she shed all her leaves 
And then her heart hung there in the winter air 
And spring ain’t just around the bend

But I can feel it coming again
And that weary heart is far from broken in
And I can feel it coming around
And I’m just waiting here for it to fall down

I shivered there in the shaky shadow of branches thrown on the snow 
I willed the limbs to drop their load but seedlings started to grow
She shouted “you’re wasting all of your time! 
The flowers are blooming and this heart is only mine!”

But I can feel it coming again
And that weary heart is far from broken in
And I can feel it coming around
And I’m just waiting here for it to fall down

So rather than waiting for it
I left the frozen ground behind and climbed up instead 

‘Cause I could feel it coming again
And that weary heart was far from broken in
And I can’t believe what I found
Since I decided to leave the ground
