When Trees Are Waving Lyrics

When trees are waving

And you're waving back

And leaves have fallen

Across your track

And wind is searching

Through the air

But finding only

Loneliness there

And a curving moon

Is pale on the sky

And an owl calls who

And you wonder why

And a shadowy curtain

Draws down on the day

And the light blue sky

Is falling away

To a single speck

Which when it appears

Has shined for

Ten billion years

And there are sounds

Your mind believes

Might be more

Than rustling leaves

Blowing around

The waking night

Beneath the magical

Starlight

And curving moon

And searching breeze

And underneath

The waving trees

Where sunlight is

A vanished ghost

This is when

You wonder most

And wander toward

Infinity

There is no scale for history

Wander toward infinity

There is no scale for history

Each life is endless mystery

Your life is endless mystery
