[00:16.517]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
