He was the King of trees
   Keeper of the leaves
   A deep green god of young
   Love stained memory
   We used to meet by him
   Far from the hustling town
   I loved you
   Now theyve come to cut you down
   ..Down
  
   He was the guardian of days
   We held the same
   Beneath the shade he gave
   Shelter from the rain
   Oh Lord how its empty now
   With nothing save the breeze
   Now theyve come to burn the leaves
   Dont burn the leaves
  
   And if my mind breaks up
   In all so many ways
   I know the meaning of
   The words I love you
   And if my body falls inside
   An early grave
   The forest and the evergreens
   Are coming to take me back
   So slowly as I roll
   Down the track
  
   The forest and the evergreens
   Are coming to take me back
   The forest and the evergreens
   Are coming to take me back
   Please take me back
  
   He was the King of trees
   Keeper of the glades
   The way he enchanted my life
   Makes me so amazed
   We used to meet by him
   Many years ago
   I love you
   Now they´ve come to lay the road
   Don´t lay the road
