The Trees
on Postcard #5 - Berlin - Songs for the Sleepless

Lyrics
See, the harsh wind bends the trees,
violently tearing off their thinning leaves
They bow down but never break though
it seems this force was more than they
could take
Remind yourself of this, my dear: right
now I know you don't want to hear... but
you know deep down it won't last forever
though I know right now there is no end
in sight. and you know that this won't last
forever though right now for you there is
no end in sight
There is never any cure to this kind of
agony you must endure. And you think
you can't be saved but we'll try to keep
your head above the waves
Remind yourself of this, my dear:
somebody else still needs you here
And you know these aches won't last
forever, though right now for you there is
no end in sight. And you know your pains
won't last forever though right now for
you there is no end in sight
And just like those trees, you're shaken
and bent, you're abandoned and bare
and these winds these wind these winds,
they blow so cold and strong. And you
might lose all your leaves, it might break
off a branch, but remember your roots
your roots your roots are still there to
hold on hold on
remind yourself of that, my dear
that we still are and will be here.
