tree song - bert jansch lyrics

Loading...

i wish i had a photograph
to let you see the way you smile
upon my foolish heart

the words i do not know enough
i hope that you will find my song
a pleasing to your ear

you step beneath the midnight moon
to gather dewdrops for the sun
a waiting until morn

oh if i was a branched tree
i’d be the oak tree fast and strong
to win your gentle heart

and if i was one grain of corn
i’d wait till you did come along
to throw me to the wind

and if i was one silken thread
embroidered all in cherry red
upon your breast i’d lie

and if i was the alder tree
i’d burn it fiercely over thee
our love would surely last

and if i was the hawth-rn bush
and you did shelter under me
i would not do you harm

and if i was one gl-ss of wine
one sip from you would give me time
to take you by the hand

and all across the hills we’d go
in search of what no-one does know
except for you and i
