The White Birch - Lamentation Lyrics

I did not feel
The wind today
I could only feel the leaves
Worn from the fray

I did not read
This newborn sight
Through the hanging trees
I could only see the light
As it left

I did not hear
The shivering sound
Of treetops pushing
Up through the ground

I did not read
These newborn sparks
Through the wilting trees
I could only see the dark
As it came
