Cold, foggy morning
On the frozen trail of winter
The path I cleared last July
Covered in debris
I thought back then my love and I might be going in two directions
But now that all the leaves are down it's easier to see
Bare tree, bare tree
Changing silhouette against the evergreen
Bare tree, bare tree
My lover's facing west, I'm facing east
Though we may grow in different light
We're reaching for the same sky
Everyday the dawn rose up
A little further from the dusk
My mind was overgrown with weeds
My bones had turned to dust
She was dancing on a color wheel
Waiving a mojo hand
Trying to bring some crimson light
To the shadow of a man
Bare tree, bare tree
Changing silhouette against the evergreen
Bare tree, bare tree
My lover's facing west, I'm facing east
Though we may grow in different light
We're reaching for the same sky
Morning haze is lifting
And the sun cuts through the forest
And at the end of a barren branch
The first brush stroke of Spring
And in my ear sweet-sounding birds
Turn into a chorus
Ahh, sweet melodies
Pulling on my heartstrings
Bare tree, bare tree
Changing silhouette against the evergreen
Bare tree, bare tree
My lover's facing west, I'm facing east
Though we may grow in different light
We're reaching for the same sky (reaching for the same sky)
Reaching for the same sky (reaching for the same sky)
Reaching for the same sky (reaching for the same sky)
Reaching for the same sky
