Tall Oak Tree

Over water i prayed
Never break the vow we made
Tall oak tree
Battered by the sea
Oh how the wind rustles me

As I grow i shed
Leaves of gold and red
Tall oak tree
Battered by the sea
Oh how the wind rustles me

We were wed on highest bluff
Sparrow and Hawk looked down on us

Driftwood lined the sand so smooth
All the words you'd use to soothe
Tall oak tree
Battered by the sea
Oh how the wind rustles me

Sparrow and Hawk
The key and the lock
Water crests grey
As the tide pulls away
