Set adrift this burning boat and I'd never seen fire float

And the truth sat on the water with the ashes and the smoke

Before that day no one believed that the spirit flies into the trees

But I saw it go and I saw it catch in William's Tree

Yeah, I saw it go and I saw it catch in William's Tree

Winter's water fell around, William's leaves were on the ground

But in 3 days time, there were thousands more somehow

Before that time when sadness fell, folks were wishin' on the well

Now they came and sat beneath to hear what William's leaves would tell

Now they came and sat beneath to hear what William's leaves would tell

And I hope you find your way to home

We'll miss you when you go

I hope you find your way to home

Here's something you should know

I hope you find your way to home

We'll miss you when you go

I hope you find your way to home

We'll miss you when you go

Many sat beneath the branches

Dreaming thunder rain and dances

Many sat beneath the branches

Dreaming thunder rain and dances

And the tree would rustle and shake and sway

And the tree would rustle and shake and sway

And I hope you find your way to home

We'll miss you when you go

I hope you find your way to home

Here's something you should know

I hope you find your way to home

We'll miss you when you go

I hope you find your way to home

We'll miss you when you go

[Interlude]

The longest night of a hundred years

I sat with the tree in the cold night air

And I saw it go and slowly disappear

The time of the night was deep in dreams

But I was sure what I had seen

There is here and gone and the soul

No longer walked in between

There is here and gone and the soul

No longer walked in between

Well, I hope you find your way to home

We'll miss you when you go

I hope you find your way to home

Here's something you should know

I hope you find your way to home

We'll miss you when you go

I hope you find your way to home

We'll miss you when you go
