bert jansch - tree song lyrics
i wish i had a photograph
to let you see the way you smile
upon my foolish heart
the words i do not know enough
i hope that you will find my song
a pleasing to your ear
you step beneath the midnight moon
to gather dewdrops for the sun
a waiting until morn
oh if i was a branched tree
i’d be the oak tree fast and strong
to win your gentle heart
and if i was one grain of corn
i’d wait till you did come along
to throw me to the wind
and if i was one silken thread
embroidered all in cherry red
upon your breast i’d lie
and if i was the alder tree
i’d burn it fiercely over thee
our love would surely last
and if i was the hawth-rn bush
and you did shelter under me
i would not do you harm
and if i was one gl-ss of wine
one sip from you would give me time
to take you by the hand
and all across the hills we’d go
in search of what no-one does know
except for you and i
