Rose Moore - O Spirit Tree lyrics

One day, I met a woman on the road She was frail and she was old She gave a gift to me A seed, a tiny seed she gave to me And told me plant it, you will see It will give all you need O Spirit Tree, see how it grows high now O mystery, the gift she gave to me I eat your fruit, you shelter me now I see O spirit tree, you are a mystery So now, it grows there by the open road A tree with branches knarled and old And leaves that shine like gold And there, beneath the ground you cannot see The twisted roots of that old tree Reach for eternity
