Tree Rings

[Verse 1]

It was the first to the tellings of all of the fellings

The axes’ swings and the bite of the blade

Thirteen winds bind the forest kings

As the doorway opens into the shade

You called down the swallows and we wore their wings

Followed that path to all that it brings

As we counted, oh we counted

A thousand tree rings

[Chorus]

And the time of dreaming has come

In the dance of night, calling for the light

Of a million moons, a thousand tree rings

[Verse 2]

The lonely crow called

And the dark wood barked

And the yew buried floor in the sun of the lark

In the memory of water

Sea unwalked and unsaid

Untrodden, unbidden, unmade in our beds

See the bark never trodden, and the axe never swung

The dreams that we've had since the battle was won

A haunting, a blaze

Seven cloaks never worn

A thousand tree rings

And we counted, oh we counted

A thousand tree rings

[Chorus]

And the time of dreaming has come

In the dance of night, calling for the light

Of a million moons, a thousand tree rings

And the time of dreaming has come

In the dance of night, calling for the light

Of a million moons, a thousand tree rings
