The Orchard

from 'Wind in the Trees' by Whetherman

/

lyrics

Humming-little-bird climbing the side of the tree
Immersed in ordinary things
When it rains it may be pouring
But fleeting is the feeling that's adored

In the orchard, the wind blows often
Less the storm shall rage fierce
There's a shelter held near
Where the fruit has become rotten

It's hard to forget the tales
When I'm carrying the times in my sails
Where nothing changes until it fails

Early morning light, the fall brings leaves to my feet
With the fog and cold toiling to send the birds south of here
In the orchard, the wind dies often
And I know that I'm getting old
Though I once have been told
That it all goes on without us

(Chorus)

In the orchard, the sorrow is kind
Spent longing in the very scene
Where we last stood gathering
A breath of affection and mind
It was all in it's place
I can't rewind, nor reverse
Can't repair, or rehearse
