THE OAK

HIGH ON A HILL STANDING TALL SIDE BY SIDE
TWO FRIENDS FOREVER SO YOUNG AND SO WILD
FACING THE WIND IT CAN DO THEM NO HARM
THEY KNOW THAT TOGETHER IS WHERE THEY ARE STRONG

THE YEARS GO ON BY AS THEY GROW OLD AND WISE
THE FIRST TIME THEY TOUCH ISLIGHTNING AND FIRE
DEEP DOWN BELOW THEMTHEIR ROOTS ARE ENTWINED
LIKE A PROMISE OF LOVE, OF LOVE FOR ALL TIME

WOULD YOU WAIT FOR ME IN ANOTHER LIFE
WOULD YOU WAIT FOR ME ON THE OTHER SIDE
WOULD YOU WAIT FOR ME NOW I COULD DIE
WOULD YOU WAIT FOR ME

THE DAY WAS STILL DARK WHEN VOICES CALLED OUT LOUD
THIS OAK, NOW IT’S OURS, FOR TABLES AND CHAIRS
I WATCHED AS SHE FELL AS THEY BROUGHT HER ON DOWN
MY TEARS CAN’T RETURN OR BRING BACK WHAT HAS GONE

WOULD YOU WAIT FOR ME IN ANOTHER LIFE…

I MIGHT BE ALONE AND I KNOW I FEEL PAIN
BUT DEEP DOWN BELOW ME OUR ROOTS HAVE REMAINED
I LOOK UP ABOVE AND SWEAR THERE‘S A LIGHT
SHE’S WAITING FOR MEON THE OTHER SIDE

WOULD YOU WAIT FOR ME IN ANOTHER LIFE
WOULD YOU WAIT FORMEON THE OTHER SIDE
WOULD YOU WAIT, WOULD YOU WAIT, WAIT FOR ME
IN ANOTHER TIME IN ANOTHER LIFE
AND I HEARD HER SAY I WOULD WAIT FOR YOU
