He was the King of trees
Keeper of the leaves
A deep green god of young

Love stained memory
We used to meet by him
Far from the hustling town

I loved you
Now theyve come to cut you down
..Down


He was the guardian of days
We held the same

Beneath the shade he gave
Shelter from the rain
Oh Lord how its empty now

With nothing save the breeze
Now theyve come to burn the leaves
don't burn the leaves


And if my mind breaks up
In all so many ways

I know the meaning of
The words I love you
And if my body falls inside

An early grave
The forest and the evergreens
Are coming to take me back

So slowly as I roll
Down the track


The forest and the evergreens
Are coming to take me back
The forest and the evergreens

Are coming to take me back
Please take me back


He was the King of trees
Keeper of the glades
The way he enchanted my life

Makes me so amazed
We used to meet by him
Many years ago

I love you
Now theyve come to lay the road
don't lay the road
