clones and ramets - matthew dechant lyrics

i gave you your cradle, i gave you your rattle
i looked over you since the day you were born
i gave you your shade while you boys played battle
i was the sticks you pretended were swords
i gave you the pencil to write on my paper
the ruler that tells you how much you’ve grown
i can give you all that you need to live
but my love, that life is your own

when you grew up, you grew out of your home
on a boat of my planks you sailed away
i’m the dock you got off on, the pub you got into
the tablе you drank on all through the day
the cards that you gambled, thе streets that you rambled
all the money you’ve gone and blown
i can give you all that you need to live
but my love, that life is your own

i felt your boot as you kicked in my door
i was the handle of the gun in your shaking hand
as you yelled at the teller to give you the money
then grabbed the bag and away you ran
but the coppers caught up and slapped chains on your wrists
threw you into their jail of stone
i can give you all that you need to live
but my love, that life is your own
i was the gavel that slammed on my table
you were sentenced to hang from my gibbet so high
but as they were stringing you up, a carriage
came over the hill with my wheels a*fly
out jumped your mother to pay your fee
and rescue you from my gallows’ groan
i can give you all that you need to live
but my love, that life is your own
