[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
