The Tree
Eternal Reunion beneath the Frozen Canopy
Lyrics
In three feet of snow
In a location covered by three feet of snow.
Under ten thousand stars in the waking night
Beneath a sky adorned with ten thousand stars during the early hours of the night.
The branches they glow
The tree's branches emit light.
Through little beads of ice in the full moons light
Small droplets of ice on the branches reflect the moon's light.
You disappeared long ago
You have been absent for a significant period.
Life has a funny way
Life has a peculiar way of leading us down specific paths or journeys.
Of taking us down a certain road
Life directs us along certain courses.
Should you need to find me
If you seek me, you are aware of where to find me.
You know where I'll be
If needed, my location is known to you.
When it all comes down
When everything collapses or falls apart.
You can meet me at the tree
You can find me at the tree.
I was standing in a deep sea of leaves
I stood amidst a vast expanse of fallen leaves.
Felt those sticks and twigs crack beneath my feet
I felt the dry branches and twigs breaking under my feet.
Smelled the rain looming in the clouds
I sensed the rain approaching within the clouds.
I swear its been fifteen years since I've last seen you around
It feels like a long time, approximately fifteen years, since I last encountered you.
I know the path I need to take
I am aware of the direction I must follow.
It all seemed so familiar to me
Everything seemed recognizable or known to me.
I look back on all the choices that I made
Reflecting on the decisions I made in life.
cnd on that hill stood our great oak tree
On a hill stood the significant oak tree from our past.
cnd there you were
At that place, you were present.
Lying cold as ice
You were lying there, cold as ice.
I guess I never knew how you truly felt for me
Perhaps I never truly understood your feelings for me.
Well there's no such thing as time machines my love
Time travel does not exist, my dear.
Well there's no such thing as time machines my love
Reiteration that time machines are not real.
Well there's no such thing as time machines
Emphasizing the absence of time machines.
But if I were to build one
Hypothetically, if I could construct one,
I'd meet you at that God forsaken tree
I would choose to meet you at that tree, despite its negative connotation.
