Near my house there's a tree
Its bark cut by your name
The ground around it marked by your steps
Its shade knows your form
Our story
Near my house there's a tree
Its roots touched by your feet
The branches shelter the air you left behind
Its leaves know your laugh
Our story
Near my house there's a tree
Where I wait for your eyes, nose, lips
To continue
Our story

Near my house there's a tree
Its bark cut by your name
The ground around it marked by your steps
Its shade knows your form
Our story
Near my house there's a tree
Its roots touched by your feet
The branches shelter the air you left behind
Its leaves know your laugh
Our story
Near my house there's a tree
Where I wait for your eyes, nose, lips
To continue
Our story
