I Remember 2006 - This Tree of Mine lyrics
[I Remember 2006 - This Tree of Mine lyrics]
My sign of life
My lucky charm
And there's no harm
For a while it stayed there
Swaying to and fro
Back and forth hypnotically
My form of peace
This tree of mine
My sign of life
My happiness
And then my strife
The struggle and the fear
When enemies walk near
I have to defend the tree
While the tree protects me
If anyone comes near
They'll crumble from the shear
Movements of tree
While it hides me
This tree of mine
My sign of life
All of my dreams
And memories
The carvings in the bark
Words and pictures
Notes and letters
Dreams and all my memories
They to me read like a book
An anthology of my life
These stories, they shall never die
Stay there 'til the sun dies
But I still dread the moment
If this tree does die
I won't be prepared
And I won't survive
If I see the carvings
Disappear one day
I will fade away
As the notes erase
But so far to this day
The Salix still sways
Back and forth hypnotically
I don't want to lose this peace
Then he won't be prepared
For what comes next
When the world dies
And when he realizes
What is up now
For his destiny
What is up now
For the fate of his tree
