The Elder Tree Songtext
von Beyond God

Strolling through uneven land
Been stalling all the way
Hoping that he′ll understand
And I'll know what to say

In full bloom, strong and free
Is how I′ve always known the elder tree
You kept me close and safe in your company
The way you spoke and sang to me

We spring into this world
Quickly standing tall
But summer turns to winter
And we all fall


Your warmth was nourishing
We all grew up so rapidly
Now, while your offspring is flourishing
Your twigs break so easily

We spring into this world
Soon stand tall
But summer turns to winter
And all shall fall

Your leaves are sparse,
You're talking unclear, too scarce
And with a heavy heart I see
That soon I will have to set you free.
Free!
The willows weep with me
Aaaah
The willows weep with me

We spring into this world
Soon stand tall
All shall fall
