"Under Your Tree" lyrics - SONATA ARCTICA

The leaves they fall
Upon the day that makes a memory
Those pleading eyes
Echoing, silently in me

The final nights
I guard her sleep, I can do without
The fears down deep
There's nothing good in this morning...

Oh, and I know...
Invested feelings in the one I would outlast
My little friend is getting tired, fading fast...

[Pre-Chorus:]
Did not want to see the signs of the dimming flame
I need to have more time

No, I don't want to let you go
Tonight I fear I'll say goodbye to my little friend
Don't want to let you go...

[Chorus:]
The warmest heart I've found
I lower into the ground
My tears, forever with you
Resting under your tree

You have always loved this place
It now belongs to you...
I need to set you free
And go on alone

[Bridge:]
One day in my feeble timeline
You gave me your heart and stole mine
Tomorrows came too fast for me
To hear your slow, silent goodbye...

[Chorus:]
The kindest heart I've found
I lowered into the ground
Your smile kept me alive
Back when the skies were still

You always liked this place
Now sleep under the tree
I planted here the day
When you were born

[Outro:]
I should've been ready, seen the nearing end
My little old friend, a child
That day I had to say goodbye and turn the bend
But I'll never let go
