is just beyond reach

Love's like the blossoms

of the rowan tree

 

Who once was a woman

who didn't see love

'Til her lover and family dies

and she was spared from above

 

For this great insult

to the gods in the sky

she was turned to a tree

seen by only love's eye

 

In the presence of true love

blossoms fell as would tears

and there she would stay

for hundreds of years

 

'Til all of her blossoms fell

all her branches bare

from seeing the truest, purest

love that's so rare

 

But until then

she'll cry her tears of flowers

until she's released

by true love's power
