Jade Trees

Oh Sapphire skies and golden eyes And a transparent breeze That blusters all paper disguise And flurries through Jade Trees Ashes to ashes we all fall down Then rising up in resurrection Soaring off the ground First comes the sweet and then the sour Remorse building every hour Victim of a heartless crime Wishing that I could rewind the time Oh Oblivious and frivolous With all the time to spend No wise sage could prophecy Those times come to an end Ashes to ashes, the cry resounds Hundreds falling left and right a backyard battleground First comes the sweet and then the sour Remorse building every hour Victim of a heartless crime Ooh a hollow wish to rewind the time In night or in stormy day What will those Jade Trees say In May when the grey goes green Pines hear of words foreseen First comes the sweet and then the sour Remorse building every hour Wake up to hopes misaligned Grateful that I never made her mine Ah Now I lie in solitude Just dreaming of that breeze That holds dead laughs and lullabies That echo through Jade Trees
