I Am the Tree by Kate Ellis Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Winter's callin' and the leaves begin to change
They're fallin' down around my feet like children as they play
As they play, as they play
Another game
[Verse 2]
Winter's callin' and my arms begin to shake
Shadows getting longer as generations fade away
Fade away, fade away
But here I stay
[Chorus]
Ooh, with the fallin' of the leaves
Ooh, as the ground begins to freeze
That's how it's meant to be
I am the tree
[Bridge]
Light around my head, wind between my leaves
Nothin' but the sky to hear me grieve
And so the branch becomes the tree
[Verse 3]
Lean your head and let my hair fall down your face
Love me still as we grow old, remind me of this day
Of this day, of this day
Come what may
[Chorus]
Ooh, with the fallin' of the leaves
Ooh, as the ground begins to freeze
Ooh, let it sink in by degrees
Ooh, what my mother passed to me
Ooh, seasons come and they will leave
That's how it's meant to be
I am the tree
Winter's callin' and the leaves begin to change
They're fallin' down around my feet like children as they play
As they play, as they play
Another game
[Verse 2]
Winter's callin' and my arms begin to shake
Shadows getting longer as generations fade away
Fade away, fade away
But here I stay
[Chorus]
Ooh, with the fallin' of the leaves
Ooh, as the ground begins to freeze
That's how it's meant to be
I am the tree
[Bridge]
Light around my head, wind between my leaves
Nothin' but the sky to hear me grieve
And so the branch becomes the tree
[Verse 3]
Lean your head and let my hair fall down your face
Love me still as we grow old, remind me of this day
Of this day, of this day
Come what may
[Chorus]
Ooh, with the fallin' of the leaves
Ooh, as the ground begins to freeze
Ooh, let it sink in by degrees
Ooh, what my mother passed to me
Ooh, seasons come and they will leave
That's how it's meant to be
I am the tree
