Rising in Misery
Farewell to the trees
Farewell to the trees
Farewell to the trees
Farewell to the trees
Empty inside and without you
To start my day and see this through
Grief is my silent torment
Laughing, unkind was it all meant?
The truth is dying in ivory tears
Cold shadows only stand by
Stretching out both hands
And collecting every tear from your eyes
Farewell to the trees
Farewell to the trees
Farewell to the trees
Farewell to the trees
All that came and went
Each treading in footsteps of a lullaby
Casting all doubt and I hear them shout
Every word of this painful cry
Oh safe our trees
There for all too see
Likes of you and me
All that came and went
Each treading in footsteps of a lullaby
Casting all doubt and I hear them shout
Every word of this painful cry
Oh safe our trees
There for all too see
Likes of you and me
All that came and went
Each treading in footsteps of a lullaby
Casting all doubt and I hear them shout
Every word of this painful cry
Oh safe our trees
There for all too see
Likes of you and me
Oh safe our trees
There for all too see
Likes of you and me
Farewell to the trees
Farewell to the trees
Farewell to the trees
Farewell to the trees
Empty inside and without you
To start my day and see this through
Grief is my silent torment
Laughing, unkind was it all meant?
Farewell to the trees
Farewell to the trees
Farewell to the trees
Farewell to the trees
Farewell to the trees
Farewell to the trees
Farewell to the trees
Hear them crying like you and me
