Biography:
Catherine Tift Merritt (born January 8, 1975, in Houston, Texas, but moved to Raleigh, North Carolina soon after) is a critically acclaimed American singer-songwriter, musician. She is currently based in New York.
Merritt's father taught her guitar chords and Percy Sledge songs. She began her professional career in 1998 with her band The Carbines playing small clubs. In her early twenties, though Tift had gigged by herself, she decided she was not very good at music and better suited for writing short stories.

Am F C
Once I ran like the wildest horse
Am7 F G C
I reached up high and I clenched my fist
Am F C
What happened then goes just like this
G C
Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
Am F C
I was young and I thought it brave
Am7 F G C
Fighting to find the mystery's face
Am F C
You got to give it a gentler chase

'Cause, oh, the tender branch is gonna fall
G C E7
Oh, the tender branch is gonna fall

Sometimes you fall up these stairs

It's a long time 'fore you know

No matter where my heart is now

There's a long, long way to go

There is a church in Saint-Sulpice

I've seen the pilgrims come to pray
