Lantern Tree

A lantern eye sits in a tree

I think it's waiting here for me

The forest all seems shadowed now

Except when moonlight hits the ground

Stand and wait here with me

Who knows what we will see

There must be life around

If we stay still don't make sound

Oh lantern tree

Oh you keep calling me

What is it that you see?

Oh lantern tree

Foggy haze beneath the sky

Wonder how it feels to fly

Trees are twisted but don't fear

No one has escaped from here

Someone tried to explain to me

Didn't really care to see

You could always stand to learn

But you've got to take your turn

Oh lantern tree

Oh you keep calling me

What is it that you see?

Oh lantern tree

Softly

Illuminating

Hardly

Anticipating

Leaves that fall beneath my hand

It all shrivels where I stand

No one else's been here before

No one's walked this trail of thorns

Oh lantern tree

Oh you keep calling me

What is it that you see?

Oh lantern tree

Oh lantern tree

Oh lantern tree
