Lightning Tree

I'll pour water at your roots, a bucket every day
Tree, tree, lightning tree, let your branches sway
Me, me love-struck me, watering the tree
Tree, tree, lightning tree, will you grow new leaves?

Old oak tree behind our farm you're mighty, big and strong
You've been there all my life I know you've been there all along
I love your shade on sunny days, your shelter when it's warm
When the wind blows through your leaves you sing a rustling song

Old oak tree
You mean so much to me
When lightning struck you burned inside
You died and lost your leaves

I'll pour water at your roots, a bucket every day
Tree, tree, lightning tree, let your branches sway
Me, me love-struck me, watering the tree
Tree, tree, lightning tree, will you grow new leaves?

Old oak tree behind our farm your might and strength is gone
Soon you'll leave me all alone I know it won't be long
No more shade on sunny days, no shelter when it's warm
Your trunk will slowly go to dust and vanish in a storm

Old oak tree
You mean so much to me
When lightning struck you burned inside
You died and lost your leaves

I'll pour water at your roots, a bucket every day
Tree, tree, lightning tree, let your branches sway
Me, me love-struck me, watering the tree
Tree, tree, lightning tree, will you grow new leaves?

Old oak tree, don't give up, you must be brave and strong
There still must be some life in you it's been there all along
I need your shade on sunny days, your shelter when it's warm
The song of life is in your leaves please let me sing along

I'll pour water at your roots, a bucket every day
Tree, tree, lightning tree, let your branches sway
Me, me love-struck me, watering the tree
Tree, tree, lightning tree, will you grow new leaves?

I'll pour water at your roots, a bucket every day
Tree, tree, lightning tree, let your branches sway
Me, me love-struck me, watering the tree
Tree, tree, lightning tree, will you grow new leaves?
