Under Your Tree Lyrics

Sonata Arctica
Intro: A | B | C#m | B | A | B | F# | F# | A | B | C#m | B | A | B | C#m
The leaves they fall
upon the day that makes a memory
those pleading eyes,
echoing, silently in me
the final nights
I guard her sleep, I can do without
the fear's down deep
There's nothing good in this morning...
Oh, and I know...
invested feelings in the one I would outlast
My little friend is getting tired, fading fast...
Intro: A | B | C#m | B | A | B | F# | F# | A | B | C#m | B | A | B
Did not want to see the signs of the dimming flame
I need to have more time
(No, I don't want to let you go)
Tonight I fear I'll say goodbye to my little friend
Don't want to let you go...
the warmest heart I've found
I lower into the ground
my tears, forever with you
resting under your tree
you have always liked this place
it now belongs to you...
I need to set you free
and go on alone
one day in my feeble timeline
(Gm / Bb)? Bb
You gave me your heart and stole mine
Gm Dm (Gm / Bb)?
tomorrows came too fast for me
to hear your slow, silent goodbye...
(Silence)
(Band enters)
the kindest heart I've found
I lowered into the ground
your smile kept me alive
back when the skies were still
you always liked this place
now sleep under the tree
I planted here the day
when you were born
I should've been ready, seen the nearing end
my little old friend, a child.
That day I had to say goodbye and turn the bend
but I'll never let go
