Lyrics

all the flowering trees

all the flowering trees
have a tale to tell

their coloured blooms
cast a secret spell

their magic takes you to a garden of mystery
where every living thing
shall make you well


come to me beneath a blooming tree,
breathe in the lengthening days

the fragrant May-light gives a foretaste
of summer solstice grace;
earth’s embrace

all the flowering trees…

full of tears and wonder, I am
breaking,
like petals to the light

from a sky of dreams the stars come shining
blossoms in the night
fill my sight


all the flowering trees
have a tale to tell

their coloured blooms
cast a secret spell

their magic takes you to a garden of mystery
where every living thing
shall make you well
