lyrics
Golden Tree
Grow around me, I am your leaves.
She rests her head and lies at my feet,
Caressed by the breeze.
Sit in my shade and devour my fruit, searching the world you won't find deeper roots than mine, than mine.
You are the sun, I'm under moon but if I need a little light can I stand right up to you?
Peel back my skin, I'm new on the inside, new on the inside...
Golden tree,
She is a vine, expanding in time.
She will advance and enter my soul, swallow me whole.
Sit my shade deliver my seed, expand all around and strangle the weed to be.
Older we grow on you I bestow ages of love, look around, it's on show for you.
Peel back my skin, I'm new on the inside...
