King Of Trees Lyrics

King Of Trees lyrics

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 they`ve 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 they`ve 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 they`ve come to lay the road 
Don`t lay the road
