Even Lyrics

If I fall asleep

Let it be for

Million years

I looked over

The hedge

And I found her

Lying dead

The tree on the waterfront

Lying down

Its roots sticking up in the air

It said to me

"When years have gone

You'll be afraid"

The tree then made its peace

And turned to the shore

Where flocks of birds reigned

And over and over

I called to him

But no words

Would he say more to me

Kneeling on the shore

I glanced at the sky

And felt the years

Pass over me

Then a wave crashed

On the beach

And like the original sin

I cried over and over again

Now I'm all alone

No women to comfort me

No son to usurp me

And all I want

Is a little respect

For all I've gone through

And all I've seen

Summer now

Is butterflies

And strawberries that line my walls

Thinking back

No one ever asked

Oh

So many

Years

Have passed
