Once upon a time was there an old and lonely tree By him folks had come and gone And he was standing still No carved names No dance and prayers Took his sorrows away He dreamed to have all lives and hearts And own them all his own The children's laughter tears for joy New born babys too Up he swallowed birds and beasts to fill his lonely soul
Now that he is all alone The old and lonely tree No more song is in the wind And the tree is standing still
Once uopn a time was there an old and lonely tree The clear and blue sky up above And he was standing still Shiny snowflakes,rain in spring Could never ease his soul He dreamed to have the whole wide world And own it all his own Oceans and mountains flowers in white The sun,the moon and the stars Even the shadows swallowed he to fill his empty soul
Now that he is all alone The old and lonely tree no more day or night exists And the tree is standing still
