Near The Ash Tree Lyrics

It's been a long time coming

But I see my father's hands playing beside me

Near the Ash Tree

I remember when we found ourselves

Sitting quietly

Just glimpses and memories from a boy's mind

Lonely in the light of every passing day

We've lost the chance to ever sit

Near the Ash Tree

Standing in the light

Of all that could ever be

Listening in the dark

And possibly

Near the Ash Tree

Near the Ash Tree

The darkness of the sea, cold and bristling

Could overtake me

Like all the years of falling silently

Near the Ash Tree

And could my heart just catch its breath

Rest easily, just taking in the breeze

I can see it now

Leaning silently

Standing tall over me

Near the Ash Tree

Standing in the light

Of all that could ever be

Listening in the dark

And possibly

Near the Ash Tree

Near the Ash Tree

Near the Ash Tree

Near the Ash Tree

There was a last time

That you saw me

Near the Ash Tree
