Get Cape Wear Cape Fly - An Oak Tree lyrics

rate me

Take a look at the oak trees

In the park standing tall

Like a tower of resilience

Despite the leaves that fall.

Stripping them back to their

Fraught frames, all naked

And on display. Like us they

dress for the season.

It will soon be spring again.

But you and I were not designed to be evergreens I guess

That it's time to long for April to come.

Am I willing to wait here again?

Although I'm hungry and I'm tired

And all the bridges I made on the way

Are quickly turning into fires

And as the embers are growing and no phoenix emerge

I guess another set back is another lesson learnt.

Let's strip it back to the bare bones,

Though not a matter of choice,

There's still something of worth

In just an acoustic and a voice.

As the new shoots start growing

At the start of the year,

The tree is ready to deliver

Despite inital fears.

But you and I were not designed to be evergreens I guess

That it's time to long for April to come.

Am I willing to wait here again?

Although I'm hungry and I'm tired

And all the bridges I made on the way

Are quickly turning into fires

And as the embers are growing and no phoenix emerge

I guess another set back is just another lesson learnt.
