Keeper of the leaves
 A deep green god of young
 Love stained memory
 We used to meet by him
 Far from the hustling town
 I loved you
 Now theyve come to cut you down
 ..Down

 He was the guardian of days
 We held the same
 Beneath the shade he gave
 Shelter from the rain
 Oh Lord how its empty now
 With nothing save the breeze
 Now theyve come to burn the leaves
 Dont burn the leaves

 And if my mind breaks up
 In all so many ways
 I know the meaning of
 The words I love you
 And if my body falls inside
 An early grave
 The forest and the evergreens
 Are coming to take me back
 So slowly  as I roll
 Down the track

 The forest and the evergreens
 Are coming to take me back
 The forest and the evergreens
 Are coming to take me back
 Please take me back

 He was the King of trees
 Keeper of the glades
 The way he enchanted my life
 Makes me so amazed
 We used to meet by him
 Many years ago
 I love you
 Now theyve come to lay the road
 Dont lay the road
