lyrics

There is a tree without bark on it,
I t was a living thing once.

You were dancing when I last saw you,
And you were a giving person then.

I look out the window and you say,
We can’t have it any other way.

There’s white with red on it,
But that’s something I don’t want to say

Better start growing up now,
Gonna have to take the wheel some day.

You might leave but I’ll stay,
There’s heavy air tonight.
The past get’s washed away
Beyond the candlelight
You look in the distance and say,
We can’t have it any other way.

Fill silence with wondrous sound,
For sunken faces almost touching the ground.
