Good old olive tree

Something burst
And something fell
When I tried to surrender
To be a sad, sad fool
Suddenly someone
Only wants to do well
After a year of waiting
And keeping to the rule

And God knows himself
I am down on my knees
Out of heart-broken love
Feeling low and lonely
Not only the seasons
But also ten other reasons
Remind me inside
Why you'll be the one and only

So while memories aggregate
To a novel about our mile
My hand still wants to touch you
Even if so just for a while
If you'll ever miss me
If you'd like to come and see
Our children and our future
Stop by that old olive tree

It's the place where I will be

Great man, you've changed me
I wish I was older and wiser
I wish that the world would embrace me
While still separating truth from lies
I wish I could learn to say "no"
So that I would feel worthy
And I wish I could learn to say "yes"
To the things that blindfold me

While memories aggregate
To a novel about our past
My heart is by yours
As always, beating fast
If you ever come to the valley
By the lake where we used to be
From there, go down the alley
To that good old olive tree

It's the place where I will be.
