lyrics

Take me to the sycamore tree,
my love is waiting there.
Crowned with boughs of evergreen
and roses in his hair.
Though the tides of time turn on,
the lover’s time is brief.
Marked by rings around the tree,
The measure of her grief

Underneath the sycamore tree
As children we would play
Weaving crowns of dandelion greens
To mark the summer day
When night comes in and steals the flame
Of childhood’s burning fire,
Turned to fancies of the heart
Unquenchable desire

Take me to the sycamore tree
Beneath her leafy bowers
Shielded by her guarding arms
From falling, burning towers.
My love is ever waiting still
For partings are unkind
Now my heart shall join him there
In roots and earth entwined.
