The Light That Falls Among The Trees - Sivert Høyem

Leaves turning

Blowing down the streets blind

Please, don’t talk to me

I’ll let you pass right through me

If you’d only leave me be

The light that falls among the trees

The light that falls among the trees

Breathe, keep breathing

Hang upon the air, free

An alien son, last living thing on earth

A shadow of a vision

In the ruins of a church

The light that falls among the trees

The light that falls among the trees

Sleeping for a while on the burning sand

Waking up sleeping in a foreign land

Drinking for a while just to steady your hand

Waking up shaking on the burning desert sands

People like you don’t satisfy my needs

I much prefer the company of trees

Coming from the woods in the electric rain

Isolation years are driving me insane

So can you reach across to me

Lighten up my life, oh

So can you reach across to me

Lighten up my, lighten up my life

Ain’t it right, please don’t make it wrong

Please don’t make it wrong

Please don’t make it wrong

Please don’t make it wrong

Brighten up my life, life, life
