歌詞

The elm is slow-waltzing

With nobody at all

I'm doing nothing but my eyes

And they are doing this:

Green upon green upon lighter green

Deciding which to miss

No page of mine was ever turned

As gently as those leaves

The trees clap hands the quiet way

All shimmer and no sound

And watching them is a kind of prayer

That doesn't need the ground

A sparrow stitches through the boughs

The shadows knit and slide

The whole yard breathes in one slow time

And I breathe alongside

The trees clap hands the quiet way

All shimmer and no sound

And watching them is a kind of prayer

That doesn't need the ground

Mmm... mmm... mmm

The trees clap hands the quiet way

All shimmer and no sound

And watching them is a kind of prayer

That doesn't need the ground

The elm is slow-waltzing

I'm learning every step
