The Lover's Tree

Let the moonlight rinse your cares away

let your mind empty but for thoughts of me

lay your head in the milky light

against the trunk of the lover's tree

The night lays heavy

broken only by the breeze

be at peace my love

for that breeze carries me

As the last leaves fall and the night turns cold

when the full moon rises and your heart unfolds

I'll appear in the night before you

and we won't ever be the same

Lay me down and kiss me true

love unfurling the way the old oak grew

carve our names for all to see

that we are bound by the lover's tree
