Under Your Tree — Sonata Arctica

the leaves they fall upon the day that makes a memory those pleading eyes echoing, silently in me

the final nights i guard her sleep, i can do without the fear's down deep there's nothing good in this morning

oh, and i know invested feelings in the one i would outlast my little friend is getting tired, fading fast

did not want to see the signs of the dimming flame i need to have more time

no, i don't want to let you go tonight i fear i'll say goodbye to my little friend don't want to let you go

the warmest heart i've found i lower into the ground my tears, forever with you resting under your tree

you have always liked this place it now belongs to you i need to set you free and go on alone

one day in my feeble timeline you gave me your heart and stole mine tomorrow came too fast for me to hear your slow, silent goodbye

the kindest heart i've found i lowered into the ground your smile kept me alive back when the skies were still

you always liked this place now sleep under the tree i planted here the day when you were born

i should've been ready, seen the nearing end my little old friend, a child that day i had to say goodbye and turn the bend but i'll never let go
