Winter's calling
And the leaves begin to change
They're falling down around my feet
Like children as they play
As they play, as they play
Another game

Winter's calling
And my arms begin to shake
Shadows getting longer
As generations fade away
Fade away, fade away
But here I stay

Oh, with the falling of the leaves
Oh, as the ground begins to freeze
That's how it's meant to be
I am the tree

Light around my head
Wind between my leaves
Nothing but the sky to hear me grieve
And so the branch becomes the tree

Lean your head and let my hair fall down your face
Love me still as we grow old, remind me of this day
Of this day, of this day
Come what may

Oh, with the falling of the leaves
Oh, as the ground begins to freeze
Oh, let it sink in by degrees
Oh, what my mother passed to me
Oh, seasons come and they will leave
That's how it's meant to be
I am the tree
