[00:13.86]The cherry tree is broken
[00:16.96]The maple leaf is brown
[00:20.10]The wind is in the north east
[00:22.97]It's blowing through the town
[00:26.41]Morning is the mother
[00:29.31]She pulls you out of bed
[00:32.51]Noon is like the sister
[00:35.48]No hiding from the threat
[00:38.80]I want you for a lover
[00:41.73]I want you in the dusk
[00:44.75]Your thoughts are deep, unspoken
[00:47.91]Buried in your past
[00:50.87]The cherry tree is broken
[00:54.10]The maple is a lie
[00:57.13]The north east wind is building
[01:00.10]The people go inside
[01:03.55]I want to stay in this place
[01:06.39]Where thoughts are warm and bright
[01:09.58]I want to stay by your side
[01:12.58]And listen to your words
[01:15.66]The chaos is unbroken
[01:18.66]All the news is grim
[01:21.95]Feeds into the conscience
[01:25.27]Chase away the dream
[01:28.60]The cherry tree is broken
[01:31.18]The maple has blown down
[01:34.36]The water it is rising
[01:37.37]The power has gone out
[01:40.49]I want to find some respite
[01:43.45]From ignorance and lies
[01:46.71]I run from passing strangers
[01:49.78]I run from evil eyes
[01:52.90]I need to take some shelter
[01:56.40]I look for you in storms
[01:59.70]I know you have a foxhole
[02:01.88]I know it's dark and warm
[02:05.20]I see you in the kitchen
[02:08.33]I see you by the fire
[02:11.33]Absorbing life's great stories
[02:14.43]Drinking with your...
[02:18.68]Drinking wine in goblets
[02:20.82]Knees tucked to the chin
[02:24.17]Sitting in a straw chair
[02:26.94]Hair like golden sun
[02:30.60]Love you in the firelight
[02:32.98]Love you in the dark
[02:36.17]Think one day I'll tell you
[02:39.14]That accidents can spark
[02:42.39]A trail of life's destruction
[02:45.55]A fissure of intent
[02:48.62]A comfort blanket hanging
[02:51.77]For every crisis spent
[02:54.90]Think one day I'll tell you
[02:57.76]I'll catch you from behind
[03:00.88]Cover eyes to trick you
[03:04.50]Guessing will decide
[03:44.67]The ash is like my brother
[03:47.51]He took the lazy path
[03:50.59]To summer and the good life
[03:53.68]The last leaf in the park
[03:56.92]A wise old head on shoulders
[03:59.92]On boards of adamant
[04:03.80]He watched us by the river
[04:06.90]He watched us in the dusk
[04:09.33]Ribbons fell from your hair
[04:12.34]They came down from the war
[04:15.37]The drunks fell out of houses
[04:18.42]The food of love would flow
[04:21.50]And just then for the one day
[04:24.53]Beneath the tree of joy
[04:27.61]We were equal in our beauty
[04:30.74]To the sunset girls and boys
[04:33.83]You're too cool to rush in
[04:36.99]Which lover could it be
[04:40.14]A politician's silence
[04:43.49]Will be the death of me
