Under Your Tree

The leaves they fall

upon the day that makes a memory

those pleading eyes,

echoing, silently in me



the final nights

I guard her sleep, I can do without

the fear's down deep

There's nothing good in this morning...



Oh, and I know...

invested feelings in the one I would outlast

My little friend is getting tired, fading fast...





Did not want to see the signs of the dimming flame

I thought we had more time

No, I don't want to let you go

Tonight I fear I'll say goodbye to my little friend

(don't want to let you go...)





the warmest heart I've found

I lower into the ground

my tears, forever with you

resting under your tree

you have always liked this place

it now belongs to you...

I need to set you free

and go on alone



one day in my feeble timeline

You gave me your heart and stole mine

tomorrows came too fast for me

to hear your slow, silent goodbye...



the kindest heart I've found

I lowered into the ground

your smile kept me alive

back when the skies were still

you always liked this place

now sleep under the tree

I planted here the day

when you were born



I should've been ready, seen the nearing end

my little old friend, a child.

That day I had to say goodbye and turn the bend

but I'll never let go
