about

An ode for those we have loved and lost - remembering how they graced our lives. Now the air doesn't feel quite the same.

lyrics

Since they took you away I cannot breathe right
something has seized up inside my chest
all your precious treasures all your cool grace
when I was a child I always thought you’d the sky
swaying in the breeze we were graced by your leaves
and in the autumn your leaves turned auburn and fell
around our feet
we’d play in your shade and sing songs of joy
and on sunny days we would discard our toys and climb
up and down your beautiful body
but you were cut down as if you were nothing
as if you had it coming but you’d done nothing wrong
beneath your cool shade sweet love was made
you watched me grow and I never stopped my dancing
now you are gone I cannot breathe right
something has seized up tight inside my chest
you gave birds a home cradled their nests in the
spring time I told you all my darkest secrets all my fanciful
wishes they flew away on a black crow's wings
now are you are gone how can I breathe right?
the air in this place doesn’t feel quite the same as
when we were graced by your leaves
well some say you can always plant another tree
but they don’t understand what you meant to me
yeh I know everything’s gotta die some day
still nothing’s been quite the same
since they took you away I cannot breathe right
the air in this place doesn’t feel quite the same as
when we were graced by your leaves
the air in this place doesn’t feel quite the same as
when we were graced by your leaves
since they took you away how can I breathe right?
the air in this place doesn’t feel quite the same as
when we were graced by your leaves
