Tree Song

Lyrics for Tree Song

I wish I had a photograph To let you see the way you smile Upon my foolish heart The words I do not know enough I hope that you will find my song A pleasing to your ear You step beneath the midnight moon To gather dewdrops for the sun A Waiting until morn Oh if I was a branched tree I'd be the oak tree fast and strong To win your gentle heart And If I was one grain of corn I'd wait till you did come along To throw me to the wind And if I was one silken thread Embroidered all in cherry red Upon your breast I'd lie And if I was the alder tree I'd burn it fiercely over thee Our love would surely last And if I was the hawthorn bush And you did shelter under me I would not do you harm And if I was one glass of wine One sip from you would give me time To take you by the hand And all across the hills we'd go In search of what no-one does know Except for you and I
