There's a tree alongside the road
I've seen its leaves fall
I watched its branches grow
And it knows no hate
And it never lies
But it cries at what it sees
Through a thousand eyes
It's not the moon
That calls to me
Or the distant stars
Or a tranquil sea
Or a palace that I could call my home
Oh, no, it's you I need
It's you alone
And I need this place
Where I can go
To rest my body
To heal my soul
To take this sadness
That lives within this heart
Oh, when I think of you
When I think of you
And the river we all sail on
It knows no right
It knows no wrong
It has the power
To help guide me through
Oh, the times, yeah, when I think of you
When I think of you
When I think of you
