A Tree Stands Alone

about

A reworked Blue Hour track from the album Evensong

lyrics

A tree stands alone
Outlined black against the snow
The winter’s silence descends
Darkness comforts like a friend

Bringing songs of sadness to my lips
A filigree of words and shapes
Here I stand alone

Like an ancient god, he stands
Witness to all life
Locked in years of solitude
Outside all and yet within

Dead leaves are forgotten memories
Ghosts refusing their reprieve
Here I stand alone

And here the emptiness in my hand
Reflects the places I have been
And in the tree, I find myself
The carnival of spring long gone

Cling to life that I once lived
Frozen breath outlines her form
Here I stand alone

Words are wind
Words are breath
Words are substance
Words area real
