Lyrics:

                                                  
Watching the Tree in the Dark
Original version: single vox, brush drums, upright bass
Reprise: organ, backing vox, drums, elec bass

Verse 1:
When everyone else is asleep
I quietly move to the tree
I’m careful to not make a peep
This moment belongs just to me

Chorus:
Watching the tree in the dark
The lights are like candles in the night
Deep in my soul there’s a spark that melts to a glow
I listen to sounds of my heart
There’s nobody else I could invite
Only the tree knows the song that I know

Verse 2:
So I stay here as long as I dare
I can’t have my reverie broken
The silence and light that we share
Would vanish if one word was spoken

Chorus

Verse 3:
And now is the time I should leave
I feel so much lighter and clear
I know there’s no reason to grieve
‘Cause we’ll see each other next year

Chorus 2X
