Old woman juniper

Old woman juniper, you look a lot like me,
Grey and dried by the desert sun,
Skin that's loose and feathery.

Old woman juniper, i look a lot like you,
Bare feet in the desert sand,
Keeping time like the riverbeds do.

But oh, those looks can lie,
And you know deep inside
Our hearts are red, red as rose,
And when we burn,
And incense flows
Bittersweet and unforgetable,
Under the sky, the bright blue sky,
Under the bright blue sky.

Old woman juniper, you'll last a century more,
Putting out berries in the summertime,
Shaking off snow in the winter storms.

But oh, those years arent' mine, and
In so short a time
My soul will rise in sparks and flames.
But when i'm gone,
This song remains,
Bittersweet, and unforgetable,
Under the sky, the bright blue sky,
Under the bright blue sky.
