WORDS BY BETTY DONELLY


EPYPHITES
_________

LIFE'S LIKE LIVING IN A TREE
ANY EPYPHITE WILL DO
AS LONG AS I DON'T CHANGE CANOPE
I MIGHT END UP IN THE ONE THAT's RIGHT FOR ME

FALLING AND FALLING
OUT OF THE TREE
PREDATORS ARE CHASING ME
CLIMB IN A HURRY
BACK TO THE SKY
ONLY TO FIND THE TREE IS NOT MINE

HOME IS THE PLACE WHERE I BELONG
BUT IT'S NOT A PLACE
IT'S AN IDEA THAT I FORGOT

I WANNA GO HOME
MY VERY OWN EPYPHITE
MY VERY OWN CANOPE
THE DROPS WE SHARED
THE ANTS WE SPARED
NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU AGAIN

THE FEEL I ONCE HAD DISAPPEARED
NEVER TO COME BACK
A SHALLOW GLIMPSE EVERY NOW AND THEN
IS ALL THAT I GET

STRANGE IS THE PLACE I CALL MY OWN
BUT I DON'T REMEMBER
HOW TO REACH IT
AND HOW IT'S CALLED

I WANNA GO HOME
MY VERY OWN EPYPHITE
MY VERY OWN CANOPE
THE DROPS WE SHARED
THE ANTS WE SPARED
NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU AGAIN

LIFE'S LIKE LIVING IN A TREE
ANY EPYPHITE WILL DO
AS LONG AS I DON'T CHANGE CANOPE
I MIGHT END UP IN THE ONE THAT's RIGHT FOR ME

HOME IS THE THING I NEVER FELT
LIKE A RAINBOW IN MY HEART
SNOW AND SUN SLOWLY MELT


I WANNA GO HOME
MY VERY OWN EPYPHITE
MY VERY OWN CANOPE
THE DROPS WE SHARED
THE ANTS WE SPARED
NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU AGAIN

NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU AGAIN
