A Tree Too Weak To Stand Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

A Tree Too Weak To Stand Lyrics

    I see a place where candles burn and lovers rest tonight
    The hollow sound inside me now keeps telling me to write
    But songs of love will never leave love's feelings undefiled
    The tide has turned, the waves roll in, the waters fill my eyes
    The price of lust has risen till the ceiling will not stand
    The tears i shed were not in shame, the world was in my hands
    If trust was just a simple thing then trusting i would be
    But deep within my soul i know it's better to be free

    The days fly by, the waves roll in, but freedom has not come
    I fear my faith will soon give out, my senses come undone
    My role is played, the demon dogs come stealin' o'er land
    And foolish i would climb once more a tree too weak to stand

    I see a place where candles burn and lovers rest tonight
    The hollow sound inside me now keeps telling me to write
    But songs of love should not be sung where staying is not planned
    And foolish i would climb once more a tree too weak to stand
    And foolish i would climb once more a tree too weak to stand
