Melody of a fallen tree

Underneath the leaves where the blackbirds turn blue
If there's room for me
There's room for you

Place your ear to the ground, you hear a voice
It sings this song
The whole night long

I am the melody of the fallen tree
What comes between me
You and me

So sadly transient, you'd never guess
It could ever be
So easy to see

Across a frozen field you hear a call
With the urgency
Of the boiling sea

All your hopes and dreams they rise and fall
Secretly
A cacophany

The love and brutality
They all turn on me
You hope to someday see
Patiently
So sadly obvious, you'd never guess
It could ever be
So hard to see
