In Winter I stumbled through the snow
Up to the place where we used to go
In warmer days to find the shade
Offered by these boughs within this glade
Each passing day they take these trees
To put more men upon the seas
In Spring I trod the vibrant green
Up to that spot where once we'd seen
Those orchids blossom bright and rare
And you placed flowers in my hair
Each passing day they take these trees
To put more men upon the seas
In Summer I came to feel the breeze
That was fresh and sweet through sun-drenched leaves
I sat my back against this bark
And dream't of you on seas so dark
Each passing day they take these trees
To put more men upon the seas
Our memories ripped from this place
But I swear I'll not forget your face
In Autumn I wade the shrouded ground
While boughs above sway with the sound
That conjures up the ocean cold
That bears you brave and bold
Each passing day they take these trees
To put more men upon the seas
Our memories ripped from this place
But I swear I'll not forget your face
In Winter I stumbled through the snow
Up to the place where we used to go
