*The Old Oak Tree*
Standing by the old oak tree
Watching that boy go by
Grabbing hold of that moment
Standing by the old oak tree
Kneeling by the old oak tree
Watching the clouds that pass
Thankful for being alive
Kneeling by the old oak tree
Sitting by the old Oak tree
Waiting for the day to end
Tilting my head in slumber
Sitting by the old oak tree
Laying by the old oak tree
Watching the years that passed
Feeling Deaths little, gentle grip
Laying by the old oak tree

clothed in ivy with new green leaves
scattered among the old red ones.
