You call me friend but seldom listen But in the end you always whisper "Please, tell me what I'm doing wrong" You stand alone in naked friendship Among the mists the swirling leaves slip through
Trees they do grow high, my friend The leaves they will grow green again Recalling all the life you've seen Life will ascend to the trees The leaves become the queen And help the spring to love you And call you home again
In ember lane the leaf has fallen You never hear the silence crawling through The clambering and learning grew There is no need to hang so heavy Just look around and see the steady sky That changes with remembering
To now the end that's always calling To everything in autumn's warring sea Crashing over you and me But if we can just stand together The leaves begin to turn to neverland
Trees they do grow high, my friend The leaves they will grow green again Recalling all the life you've seen Life will ascend to the trees The leaves become the queen And help the spring to love you And call you home again
