King Of Trees

He was the king of trees
 Keeper of the leaves,
 A deep green guard of young
 Love-stained memory,
 We used to meet by him
 Far from the hustling town
 I loved you,
 Now they've come to cut you down... down
 He was the guardian of
 Days we held the same,
 Beneath the shade he gave
 Shelter fromthe rain,
 Oh Lord how it's empty now
 With nothing save the breeze
 I loved you,
 Now they've come to burn the leaves
 Don't 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 evergreen
 Are coming to take me back,
 The forest and the evergreen
 Are coming to take me back,
 Please take me back!
 He was the king of trees
 Keeper of the glades,
 The way he lightened my life
 Makes me so amazed,
 We used to meet by him
 Many years ago
 I loved you,
 Now they've to lay the road-oh-oh,
 Oh!
 Don't lay the road
