lyrics

Guitar Trees

You are guitar trees, guitar trees
From every wood that’s been
The echo of the forest reveals your chosen dream
Guitar trees, guitar trees
Beyond the fallen scream
Gifting us with music and fulfilling every dream

When you sang in the forest
In the swamp, in the plain
Did you know you would carry the lament’s long refrain
All the longing and rejoicing
All the raging and the ire
As they dragged your bodies down
To the desecrating fire

Chorus

Oh my trees , I have wept
as you lay there in the rain
Carved into, uprooted then discarded once again
Now here comes a man
who will make you sing anew
Tenderly he’ll shape you
and then liberate your muse

Chorus

Now you wait in the shadows
Til his hands coax you through
Into the sunlight of a bright soulful tune
Body of alder, neck of maple hue
Rosewood and cedar for the gypsy jazz in you

Chorus
