Cherry Tree
Now the shadows are long
And the sun hangs low
All the birds have forgotten their song
Are you ready, are you ready to go
Now the end is near
And the winds they never cease
Wipe away, wipe away your tears
And tell me that you've made your peace
The gulls still scud above the estuary
The boathouse is grey against the hill
The wind, it sings in the cherry tree
You'll be gone but I will love you still
The shape of you remains
And I know it won't be long
Till the mountains, the river and the rain
Bring you home on the wings of their song
The worlds out there beyond the estuary
The seasons as they cycled round
There were times you longed to take the cherry tree
And burn the damn thing to the ground
The years you stared across the estuary
Dreaming that one day you'd be free
You never left the boathouse or the cherry tree
But you sang in your chains just like the sea
You sang in your chains like the sea
You sang in your chains like the sea
And the sun hangs low
All the birds have forgotten their song
Are you ready, are you ready to go
Now the end is near
And the winds they never cease
Wipe away, wipe away your tears
And tell me that you've made your peace
The gulls still scud above the estuary
The boathouse is grey against the hill
The wind, it sings in the cherry tree
You'll be gone but I will love you still
The shape of you remains
And I know it won't be long
Till the mountains, the river and the rain
Bring you home on the wings of their song
The worlds out there beyond the estuary
The seasons as they cycled round
There were times you longed to take the cherry tree
And burn the damn thing to the ground
The years you stared across the estuary
Dreaming that one day you'd be free
You never left the boathouse or the cherry tree
But you sang in your chains just like the sea
You sang in your chains like the sea
You sang in your chains like the sea
