Ash Tree 139

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Found you in the golden grain

Winter stole the summer light

Silver sap in every vein

Growing deep away from sight

Rough bark hides the skin I knew

Tracing rings of heavy years

Roots are drinking up the dew

And I am washing them with tears

Pre-Chorus

The seasons roll

I lose control

Waiting for your heart to beat

Waiting for the sun to meet

Chorus

Leaves are reaching for the sky

Seasons come and seasons go

Watch the green beginning to die

Roots are reaching deep below

I can feel your pulse inside the wood

Static branches in the air

I would save you if I could

Wait for you to find me there

Verse 2

Arrow struck but then you ran

Hollow limbs against the sky

Chasing what a god can't span

Asking why you had to fly

Crown of laurel on my brow

Empty hands are holding tight

Nothing left but shadow now

Waiting through the frozen night

Pre-Chorus

The seasons roll

I lose control

Waiting for your heart to beat

Waiting for the sun to meet

Chorus

Leaves are reaching for the sky

Seasons come and seasons go

Watch the green beginning to die

Roots are reaching deep below

I can feel your pulse inside the wood

Static branches in the air

I would save you if I could

Wait for you to find me there

Bridge

Time is stretching

Fate is sketching

You are blooming

Winter looming

Chorus

Leaves are reaching for the sky

Seasons come and seasons go

Watch the green beginning to die

Roots are reaching deep below

I can feel your pulse inside the wood

Static branches in the air

I would save you if I could

Wait for you to find me there
