Wise Old Yew 가사

Watch time come, watch time go Wise old yew, what do you know? Watch time come, watch time go Wise old yew, what do you know? Oh magic tree your secrets keep A potion wise of healing deep But sips of yew on Moon’s eclipse A fatal end, beyond the lips With arrow of birch, and grey goose-wing The English yew, did long-bow bring Protecting all, under albion skies Remembering clear the battle cries Immortal tree, forever green Silent witness of all you’ve seen Watch time come, and watch time go Wise old yew, what do you know? Dressed so dark, oh hollow tree Can you tell me where I’ll be? For when I'm gone, you’ll still be here Probably for a thousand year And when I'm back, and you are old I’ll listen to your tales unfold Of all the wars, and chieftains past And things they dreamt, that did not last Immortal tree, forever green Silent witness of all you’ve seen Watch time come, and watch time go Wise old yew, what do you know? So underneath the great yew tree Inspiration comes to me Sitting long, and thinking deep A poet’s time for words to keep We’ll come and go, and this we know Now I’ve become a tree! A poet sits beneath my bow To journey just like me Immortal tree, forever green Silent witness of all you’ve seen Watch time come, and watch time go Wise old yew, what do you know?
