[Verse 1]

Tonight my heart

Appears to be

A cypress tree

With lots of moss hanging

Shaky and swaying

In the watery wind

[Verse 2]

Tonight my heart

Appears to be

Unchanging

Rooted a few feet deep

And the moon gold glowing

Watching over us

[Verse 3]

And you, my love, are the bird in flight

Who I beg and beg to stay all night

To build a nest inside my arms

But you flit and float and carry on
