Black Elm Lyrics

And yet how
Gentle it seems
April drained
Of its green
Skyline broken by one tree
Landscape of the footprint sea

Two will lie
On the ground
What goes up
Must come down

From this height
All will know
Secret love that is shown
In this place by the well
Twisted shapes of black elm

Harsh is how
They will learn
When one finds his
Stolen girl
Suspended in blinding blue
Shapes the fate of fortune’s fools

Two will lie
On the ground
What goes up
Must come down

From this height
All will know
Secret love that is shown In this place by the well
Twisted shapes of black elm

Now even wind is still
Across the cold black land
The new shadow standing ill
Won’t ever understand

From this height
All will know
Secret love that is shown
In this place by the well
Twisted shapes of black elm

They’re screaming
Why are we not to survive?
Who overlooks what true love does find?
Why are why are we not to survive?
Please spare our lives

From this height
All will know
Secret love that is shown
In this place by the well
twisted shapes of black elm
