Keeper of the leaves
A deep green God of young
Love stained memory
We used to meet by him
Far from the hustling town
I loved you
Now they've come to cut you down
.. Down
He was the guardian of days
We held the same
Beneath the shade he gave
Shelter from the rain
Oh lord how it's empty now
With nothing save the breeze
Now they've come to burn the leaves
Don't burn the leaves
And if my mind breaks up
In all so many ways
I know the meaning of
The words I love you
And if my body falls inside
An early grave
The forest and the evergreens
Are coming to take me back
So slowly as I roll
Down the track
The forest and the evergreens
Are coming to take me back
The forest and the evergreens
Are coming to take me back
Please take me back
He was the king of trees
Keeper of the glades
The way he enchanted my life
Makes me so amazed
We used to meet by him
Many years ago
I love you
Now they've come to lay the road
Don't lay the road
He was the king of trees Keeper of the leaves A deep green God of young Love stained memory We used to meet by him Far from the hustling town I loved you Now they've come to cut you down .. Down He was the guardian of days We held the same Beneath the shade he gave Shelter from the rain Oh lord how it's empty now With nothing save the breeze Now they've come to burn the leaves Don't burn the leaves And if my mind breaks up In all so many ways I know the meaning of The words I love you And if my body falls inside An early grave The forest and the evergreens Are coming to take me back So slowly as I roll Down the track The forest and the evergreens Are coming to take me back The forest and the evergreens Are coming to take me back Please take me back He was the king of trees Keeper of the glades The way he enchanted my life Makes me so amazed We used to meet by him Many years ago I love you Now they've come to lay the road Don't lay the road Explain Request ×
