These Trees - David's Lyre

I’m overthrown

Longing for the doves which fled these trees

Just to return

This foreign home

move to douse the flames that plague this dream

I won’t watch it burn

I’ll fight before I fall

seek out the man I used to know

Stand fast amongst it all

grounded by this stone

I long to overthrow my fears

I’ll stand and know my heart is clear

I’m overthrown

Longing for the doves which fled these trees

Just to return

This foreign home

move to douse the flames that plague this dream

I won’t watch it burn

This sodden ground I’ll crawl

Through mist plagued plains I will emerge

Ten fold repaid in all

Still grounded by this stone

I long to overthrow my fears

I’ll stand and know my heart is clear

I’m overthrown

Longing for the doves which fled these trees

Just to return

This foreign home

move to douse the flames that plague this dream

I won’t watch it burn

I will never leave your side

I long to overthrow my fears

I’ll stand and know my heart is clear

I’m overthrown

Longing for the doves which fled these trees

Just to return

This foreign home

move to douse the flames that plague this dream

I won’t watch it burn
