Cherry Tree

When we go let's say goodbye

Under a cherry tree

The breeze will blow the blossoms all away

When black horses come for me

In feather-plumish finery

They'll take me to the cherry tree

And lay me down to sleep

Fragile things we are

So brittle are the lives we lead

One by one we fall away

Like blossom on the cherry tree

Where a moment's beauty shining bright

With a soft breeze in the night

Then we'll know our time is done

And a new life has begun

Under the cherry tree

And no longer in our time

And all the things that us define

The future lets us fall behind

The past has gone forever

But our time is not in vain

And with the kiss of spring's first rain

We will live our time again

Under the cherry tree

Fragile things we are

So brittle are the lives we lead

One by one we fall away

Like blossom on the cherry tree

Where a moment's beauty shining bright

With a soft breeze in the night

Then we'll know our time is done

And a new life has begun

Under the cherry tree

When we go let's say goodbye

Under a cherry tree

In the roots we will entwine

Return to earth for eternity of time

And in the silence comes the rain

And then the crow will fly again

The black crow and I will fly

From underneath the cherry tree

And we'll be alive

And we'll be alive

The black crow will fly

From underneath the cherry tree

Fragile things we are

So brittle are the lives we lead

One by one we fall away

Like blossom on the cherry tree

Where a moment's beauty shining bright

With a soft breeze in the night

Then we'll know our time is done

And a new life has begun
