lyrics

There is an old oak that stands in the yard
How old is it, who cares at all
What has it seen, how does it grow
No one asks till it's gone

The oak tree stands long lived and free
It is a thousand eyes I see
New life is born repeatedly
Won't you cast your shade on me

My hands they grab what isn't there
And hold what isn't mine to me
The times of joy I find unearned
Between this devil and this oak tree

Many lives have seen you grow
And many lives faded below
How may people came and wept
Is there any promise left
