about

(“time is a tree (this life one leaf) / but love is the sky and i am for you / just so long and long enough” –E. E. Cummings)

lyrics

oh you old tree
won't you tell me of your past
I'll sit patiently
and you'll watch me grow up fast

some things will change
but some will always stay the same
people come and go
like the rain and like the snow
but the consistency of one old tree

carved into the trunk
is a heart and some initials
while another side has sunk
under the weight of endless tears

some things will change
but some will always stay the same
people come and go
like the rain and like the snow
but the consistency of one old tree

little animals climb on your arm
claiming you as their own
while a child swings up far
laughing as they touch the sky

some things will change
but some will always stay the same
people come and go
like the rain and like the snow
but the consistency of one old tree
