Tree Rings Lyrics by Johnny Flynn, Robert Macfarlane

Lost In The Cedar Wood

2021

[Verse 1]
It was the first to the tellings of all of the fellings
The axes’ swings and the bite of the blade
Thirteen winds bind the forest kings
As the doorway opens into the shade
You called down the swallows and we wore their wings
Followed that path to all that it brings
As we counted, oh we counted
A thousand tree rings
[Chorus]
And the time of dreaming has come
In the dance of night, calling for the light
Of a million moons, a thousand tree rings
[Verse 2]
The lonely crow called
And the dark wood barked
And the yew buried floor in the sun of the lark
In the memory of water
Sea unwalked and unsaid
Untrodden, unbidden, unmade in our beds
See the bark never trodden, and the axe never swung
The dreams that we've had since the battle was won
A haunting, a blaze
Seven cloaks never worn
A thousand tree rings
And we counted, oh we counted
A thousand tree rings
[Chorus]
And the time of dreaming has come
In the dance of night, calling for the light
Of a million moons, a thousand tree rings
And the time of dreaming has come
In the dance of night, calling for the light
Of a million moons, a thousand tree rings
