Lyrics
Verse:
I'm running up reasons for riding on trains, the minutes and miles I quickly forget.
More than leaves on the line, and time on my mind.
My travelling partner gave me a gift, the paper and perfume made me accept.
I think that she said, 'when the logic runs short let the love come in.'
Chorus:
Branches passing messages to you, branches passing messages to you.
Verse:
Swimming through a tide of people, following the sound of bells, a storm in hell would not turn your head.
Chorus:
Branches passing messages to you, branches passing messages to you.
Outro:
Branches passing messages to you.
