lyrics
All the trees have fallen down
Because their leaves are on the ground.
They forfeit height to meet in the dirt.
I saw you twice before I knew
You hid your thoughts neatly behind.
But oh, stand tall and empty on the floor.
Freezing rain adds to the ice:
Fragile branches weighing down,
Straining to take the bitterness so cold.
I'm just like the fallen trees outside my door.
You have no idea what you have become to me.
I know where you are right now.
It doesn't mean you're by yourself.
I'm right by your side--you don't have to be alone.
I understand what you have done, here.
You've made it clear now.
And all the things you say now
Sound like silence to my ear.
