In the shadows of a broken sky
A man stands alone asking why
His heart's been torn his love has flown
Leaving him in a world of stone
He walks the streets lost in his pain
Trying to find some light in the rain
But memories haunt they won't let go
Of the love he cherished now lost in woe
But then he sees her in the tree
A glimpse of hope a possibility
Her spirit dances in the leaves
And for a moment he believes
He talks to her beneath the stars
Sharing secrets healing scars
And though she's gone she feels so near
In the rustle of the leaves she whispers clear
Years go by the tree still stands
A testament to love's demands
But then one day it meets its fate
And the man is left to contemplate
But then he sees her in the tree
A glimpse of hope a possibility
Her spirit dances in the leaves
And for a moment he believes
The tree falls he feels a blow
He loses it again a cruel echo
His heart gives up unable to bear
Loss of the tree loss of her there
He goes with her to the invisible realm
Where the pain is only a dream
Although he is gone their love lives on
In the whisper of the morning breeze
