Trees

trees

A simple song with a bit of groove and an ample helping of trumpet solo.

 

 

Words which fall in your name, on to this page

tracing the way I claim my love for you

know full well that their breath is just accident

and my love, coincidental as only truth

died from the knowledge of better things to come

offering her hand in place of

your one deep breath which was given to compensate

for the thousands we missed in youth

 

Deep wooded forest masks idleness,

composing itself only for the trees

Trees which seem to indicate turbulence

propagate only for the free

 

Moments now spent, deep in prayer

seem to point in a particular direction

Offers sent up concentrated in air,

seem to dictate a certain type of discretion

You were the one who woke me from myself

offered me some tea and brought me back to health

You were the dream which kept me in bed

Showed me myself, peered inside my own head

Lives that sacrificed inside your name,

emanating truths I’m afraid to claim

Thoughts that get drowned out by the rain

Waiting for dryness or some other day

Our wonders which cease to grow pale and plain

and alter the courses which show us the way
