There's a stillness in the trees

THERE’S A STILLNESS IN THE TREES (E A D G A# D#)

Open; show me your face. Stillness falling like rain.

Yellow, I don’t see you. You said I won’t need you.

There’s a stillness in the trees. Just before the wind turns.

A glowing in the leaves. Listen and you’ll learn.

 

Hold me, pouring, empty. Still here, still thought you might.

Yellow, I can’t help you. I don’t know where to turn.

There’s a stillness in the trees. Echoes through the morning.

Only came so we could leave. Tell me where you’ll go.

 

A flower opens as a raincloud appears.

An eagle spreads its wings as the sun goes down.

 

There’s a stillness in the trees. A sunset in the backyard.

Find your way to me. You’ll never be too far.

There’s a stillness in the trees.
