In the graveyard
Or standing by some terraces
There's a tall tree
I pray to God it never perishes
I want my children
To see it coming into bloom
Then I can watch them
Oh, from the window of my room
Then I can say I've made it
ย
You know that great tree
Has never blossomed in my time
But I've heard legends
Of leaves falling under other times
They say that a cold wind
Blew in from the wilderness
Taking all the beauty
And leaving just a barren mess
But they say
Yes, they say
Oh, they say
That it will be blossoming again
Oh, they say that it will be blossoming again
As it was before
So it is now
And evermore shall be
Never-ending life
As it is now
So it was before
And shall be evermore
Ending never life
Now in the desert
Beneath the sand and silences
Lie the gold fields
Awaiting rediscovery
And like that tall tree
Let it bloom before I die
It was once seen
Shimmering in every eye
And they say
Yes, they say
Oh, they say
That it will be shimmering again
Oh, they say that it will be blossoming again
ย
Oh, the end's in sight
Yeah, the end's in sight
Oh, no, no, no, no
