lyrics

*THE SUMMER TREE .

* in the summer tree, it waits for me/rowan, ash and Birch/the call that comes, the hazing suns/the dust the chalk below

* the castle walls are close cropped green/rowan, ash and birch/footfalls silent, click of flint /stark shadows cut through light

*in long summer sun/the bark-carved wishing tree/in long summer sun/the bark-carved wishing tree

* the summer tree has called for me/rowan, ash and birch/now all things hush within the walls/that crumbled long ago

* now summer tree my brother be/rowan, ash and birch/pages turning, pages turn/with words we make the world .
