Alerces

I have read of your history You have seen it all Three thousand years of memories Permeate your walls Your skin speaks of resistance You've a weathered tone We have grown through your presence Planted seeds of hope Facing inward inside of myself Is this shadow my shelter? Here your autumn replaces my spring I long for the flowers Your constellations speak foreign tongues I am lost in translation Alerces, Alerces, Alerces Speak to me of patience In your wind I hear memory Many long goodbyes In your sun I hear brilliance Dancing on the tides In your rain I hear chanting Mourning those who've died In your snow I hear silence Falling out of time Facing inward outside of myself Is this shadow my shelter? Here your autumn replaces my spring I long for the flowers Your constellations speak foreign tongues I am lost in translation Alerces, Alerces, Alerces Sing to me of patience
