The Old Oak Tree
Sit under the old oak tree; it’s peaceful underneath its branches.
Its wisdom spans the rings of time and its stems touch the heavens.

So carve your lover's name and pierce it with an arrow
Find protection in the leaves
The tree listens to your secrets
The tears water its ground
So sit under the Old Oak Tree; it’s peaceful underneath its branches
