The Light That Falls Among the Trees

Sivert Hoyem


Leaves turning
Blowing down the streets blind
Please, don't talk to me
I'll let you pass right through me
If you'd only leave me be

The light that falls among the trees
The light that falls among the trees

Breathe, keep breathing
Hang upon the air, free
An alien son, last living thing on earth
A shadow of a vision
In the ruins of a church

The light that falls among the trees
The light that falls among the trees

Sleeping for a while on the burning sand
Waking up sleeping in a foreign land
Drinking for a while just to steady your hand
Waking up shaking on the burning desert sands

People like you don't satisfy my needs
I much prefer the company of trees
Coming from the woods in the electric rain
Isolation years are driving me insane

So can you reach across to me
Lighten up my life, oh
So can you reach across to me
Lighten up my, lighten up my life
Ain't it right, please don't make it wrong
Please don't make it wrong
Please don't make it wrong
Please don't make it wrong
Brighten up my life, life, life
