lyrics
Go down, pretty Amber,
Bring us back your stone.
I've been lookin' for a girl with tree sap in her bones.
Go down, pretty Amber,
Tell us what you see.
I've been lookin' for you girl since first I climbed a tree.
And precious jewelry ain't akin to thee.
You're rough just like the waters of the restless sea.
You taste like honey stolen from a bee.
You got a love as sweet as any maple tree.
Go down, pretty Amber,
Bring us back your stone.
I've been lookin' for a girl with tree sap in her bones.
Go down, pretty Amber,
Tell us what you see.
I've been lookin' for you girl since first I climbed a tree.
You are the rusty sky at the break of dawn.
You make the storm clouds feel like blankets 'till they're gone.
And then the silver sky turns your hair to gold.
The earth has written every story that you've told.
Go down, pretty Amber,
Bring us back your stone.
I've been lookin' for a girl with tree sap in her bones.
Go down, pretty Amber,
Tell us what you see.
I've been lookin' for you girl since first I climbed a tree.
