Leaves of Elms (demo)
Songwriters: R. Thomas / C. Deveau
Lyrics: R. Thomas
Here
upon
this hallowed ground
the leaves of elms
come
tumbling
down
all around
these weathered
stones
placed with care
by hands
unknown
Jenny
a daughter
much beloved
Samuel
loving
father
of
Jacob
a son
died
at sea
and Kathryn
lost
in
infancy
Stories
each
bittersweet
scattered
here
beneath
our feet
sometimes
we are
overwhelmed
rather like
the leaves
of elms
Solo
Far removed
in time
and place
vanishing
without
a trace
something more
than love
and
lust
but nothing
less
than ash
and dust
Faceless
names
on
weathered
stone
standing
here
all alone
sometimes
we are
overwhelmed
rather like
the leaves
of elms
Stories each
bittersweet
scattered
here
beneath
our feet
sometimes
we are
overwhelmed
rather like
the leaves
of elms
