about

Looking out across a courtyard from my hotel room one evening I saw this amazing tree lit up by lights and moving in the wind as if it were alive.

lyrics

Nothing left to touch you
But the cold

Tree dreamed
I dreamed a tree
Brushing at the ground
Raking memories
Needle long and green
Half a minute
And i buried them
To fruit again
As I sleep

It flowered with the force
Of that which made it as it is
More flesh than bone
No wood
For spears and arrows
Marvel marvel wait and see
Nothing left to touch you
But the cold

Oh oh oh
Root and bone
Oh oh oh
Root and bone
Nothing left to touch you
But the cold

Brought low to be humble
To honour that which grows
I shivered on my knees
And marvelled at the wonder
Wrought upon its leaves
Sunworn and fleeting
Like waking dreams

Oh oh oh
Root and bone
Oh oh oh
Root and bone
Nothing left to touch you
But the cold

Tree dreamed
I dreamed a tree
More flesh than wood
Born From the mud of bones
And lifted high
To hold me in its shadow
And keep me by
And lifted high
To hold me in its shadow
And keep me by
