Hand over fist, I climb to the top of the tree
Like a bird in her nest, i'm safe as safe can be
So blow the cobwebs from my head
And the feathers from my hair
And leave me there
Leg over bow sway me now, till I fall asleep
Hold me tight, through the night, till the dawn appears
And blow the dreams from behind my eyes
And the dew drops from my hair
And leave me there
Leaves hide my face, keep me hid till the cold wind blows
A moth on your bark, I blend in, till light turns to dark
All the leaves fall from your branches
The north wind, with your children
Dances off
Fist under hand, I descend to the floor below
Strange back on land, my feet stand on the frost and snow
Look up through your icy branches
The last leaf falls, to join its sisters
Here
