When your fingers dare to take the wilderness from this land A breeze will play in your thoughts For a hundred years All the flowerβs hearts will ache to stand And watch the leaves Dry my tears
Apart from the cobwebs spun in my name forevermore You may perhaps believe I roamed In and out of sorrow Yet if I could make you see heretofore You would know I only cried The tears I borrowed
When your fingers dare to take the wilderness from this land I will spin cobwebs in your name For a hundred years Your heart will always ache to stand So you can find the leaves To dry your tears
