The Creek Watcher by Treebeard Lyrics
[Verse 1: Oliver Francis & Both]
Beyond the stars
We'll find the safest place
Where all we've been given is gold
Without it all
We see we've taken this for granted
And let our greed swallow us whole
With no one to show the way
It's hard to find
The path you've been told to take
But it due time you will come to see
That life is fleeting
(Dancing over summer, we were lovers under somber night skies)
[Chorus: Oliver Francis & Both]
I was free
To do as I please
And the only thing stopping you was me
Everything before this moment
I should have done differently
[Verse 3: Oliver Francis]
Within us all
We have a sacred space
Where all has turned silver and cold
Ancients of old
Say it was written in the stars
And all of this had been foretold
Looming in the darkness in a spire to the sky
Believing in only what he tells himself
Come with me into the night
To the city of sleep
With our fingers intertwined
[Chorus: Oliver Francis & Both]
I was free
To do as I please
And the only thing stopping you was me
Everything before this moment
I should have done differently
[Bridge: Oliver Francis & Matt Cole]
I won't let them take you
Not while I've the strength to save you
[Verse 4: Matt Cole & Oliver Francis]
Farewells filled the summer air
(Love it means everything so pick her up and carry on)
(I won't let them take you not while I've the strength to save you)
(She said)
Lovers dance on summer's breeze
("Meet me at the edge of the earth. I'll wait for you")
(I'll always wait for you!)
The last day on earth
Spent lying in the garden
Counting down the end of days
Beneath the trees
Beyond the stars
We'll find the safest place
Where all we've been given is gold
Without it all
We see we've taken this for granted
And let our greed swallow us whole
With no one to show the way
It's hard to find
The path you've been told to take
But it due time you will come to see
That life is fleeting
(Dancing over summer, we were lovers under somber night skies)
[Chorus: Oliver Francis & Both]
I was free
To do as I please
And the only thing stopping you was me
Everything before this moment
I should have done differently
[Verse 3: Oliver Francis]
Within us all
We have a sacred space
Where all has turned silver and cold
Ancients of old
Say it was written in the stars
And all of this had been foretold
Looming in the darkness in a spire to the sky
Believing in only what he tells himself
Come with me into the night
To the city of sleep
With our fingers intertwined
[Chorus: Oliver Francis & Both]
I was free
To do as I please
And the only thing stopping you was me
Everything before this moment
I should have done differently
[Bridge: Oliver Francis & Matt Cole]
I won't let them take you
Not while I've the strength to save you

(I'll always wait for you!)
The last day on earth
Spent lying in the garden
Counting down the end of days
Beneath the trees
