Nothing Sacred / All Things Wild - Kevin Morby

Bitter garden, bitter leaf

Bitter earth, bitter sea

Nothing here is sacred, dear, all things wild

You’re gone now for so long, you grown a child

And when you were young

You used to plea

And when you were young

You used to plea to make me believe

Nothing sacred, all things wild

Nothing sacred, all things wild

Bitter water, bitter sea

Bitter dirt, bitter tea

Everything we do is a mess

But oh, honey, may this mess be blessed

And when we were young

We knew everything

And when we were young

We claimed to sing and kick and scream

All things sacred, nothing wild

All things sacred, nothing wild

Bitter blue, bitter green

Bitter you, bitter me

Sorry for poisoning you with my song

I’m sorry now but I won’t be sorry long

And when you were young

Dumb and mean

What did you mean when you’d scream

Nothing sacred, all things wild

Nothing sacred, all things wild
