I am old woman beech by the river |
| [00:24.825] |
To the warm sun I reach, caregiver |
| [00:32.626] |
I lull the sleeper, secret keeper |
| [00:41.260] |
|
| [00:41.354] |
And here I stand, I gaze on the new |
| [00:49.198] |
From this great north land |
| [00:53.488] |
Like me they grew, grew |
| [01:02.554] |
|
| [01:02.646] |
When the boy he carved his name, the stars were shinin' |
| [01:10.826] |
And the girl she did the same, the moon was smilin' |
| [01:19.051] |
Their love grew deeper, secret keeper |
| [01:28.224] |
|
| [01:28.286] |
When the boy worked underground my roots could hear him |
| [01:36.371] |
And the girl, her belly round, was always near him |
| [01:44.342] |
Their love grew deeper, secret keeper |
| [01:52.972] |
|
| [01:53.056] |
And here I stand, I gaze on the new |
| [02:01.122] |
From this great north land |
| [02:05.211] |
Like me they grew, grew |
| [02:51.881] |
|
| [02:51.968] |
I have seen the skyline shift as I've grown older |
| [03:00.500] |
Let the future be a gift as it grows bolder |
| [03:08.488] |
My roots grow deeper, secret keeper |
| [03:17.997] |
|
| [03:18.029] |
Then a boy with eyes I know, he stands beneath me |
| [03:25.602] |
He's brought a girl with him to show the names carved in me |
| [03:33.681] |
Our roots grow deeper, secret keeper |
| [03:42.243] |
|
| [03:42.326] |
And here I stand, I gaze on the new |
| [03:50.536] |
From this great north land |
| [03:54.692] |
Like me they grew, grew |
| [04:03.001] |
Like me they grew, grew |
