Eversince I Can Remember Songtext

von Wishful Thinking

Ever since I can remember
There's been this tree - in the garden it stood
Waiting for love or December
Turning to blossom to flower to wood
And the years they pass away
Passing by they're heard to say
Who are you that you can stay
While everything must die?
Ever since I can remember
Being alive

How far back can you remember?
Can you recall there was nothing at all
Only the breath of an ember
Only the thought for what is and what ought
And the years they pass away
Passing by they're heard to say
Who are you that you can stay
While everything must die?
How far back can you remember
Being alive

And creation takes it's course
Without affection or remorse
While I'm making myself hoarse
Something else has died
And only the tree can remember
And survive
