i shy away

Underneath the leaves where the blackbirds turn blue

If there’s room for me

There’s room for you

Place your ear to the ground, you hear a voice

It sings this song

The whole night long

I am the melody of the fallen tree

What comes between

You and me

So sadly transient , you’d never guess

It could ever be

So easy to see

Across a frozen field you hear a call

With the urgency

Of the boiling sea

All your hopes and dreams they rise and fall

Secretly

A cacophony

The life and brutality

They all turn on me

You hope to someday see

Patiently

So sadly obvious, you’d never guess

It could ever be

So hard to see

"The Melody of a Fallen Tree"
