Cypress Tree Lyrics

Cypress Tree lyrics


Long I've roamed lands which are not mine
Admired Cappadocia, enjoyed
Greek wine
Tea at the Bosporus, travelled the river Rhine
Heard the
Lorelei sing, a song divine

My grave is easily found
And there I
shall gladly be
Buried in the shadow
Beneath my cypress tree

My
spirit travelled The Highlands
The North Sea taught me humbleness
My mind
got drunk by the beauty of France
In Bretagne and Ireland a Celtic
dance

My grave is easily found
And there I shall gladly be
Buried
in the shadow
Beneath my cypress tree

No trace of Helen at the
remains of Troy
But her glorious beauty shining through
On many a
gracious peasant girl
In picturesque villages far below

Winds of
Galicia, mountains of Spain
Portuguese valleys, English
domain
Skandinavia, Alexandria
Passion for wandering, impossible to
restrain

My grave is easily found
And there I shall gladly
be
Buried in the shadow
Beneath my cypress tree

When my time on
earth is over
And my journey has come to an end
Remembering the white
cliffs of Dover
Or the breeze of our Lowlands

Of our Lowlands
