The Last Living Tree

For a thousand years they were standing here

Every kind was here, life was everywhere

Within their arms they held many things

Mended broken wings, sang like violins

As time went on they grew tall and strong

There for everyone to depend upon

Then the jewellers came to steal their rings

To make splendid things for queens and kings

CHORUS

How many broken hearts sleep through the night

That the eyes of the breaker don't see

And how many children will be lost in the fight

For the life of the last livin' tree

Someone said that life is short

But does that matter to anyone
