Remember the acorn, we planted in Spring
It had your name carved in
Miles from nowhere, lying beneath
The canopy of shimmering leaf
If you were the only one left
And all of this wood was yours
Would you leave it nameless
Or would you always guard its doors
Remember the cabin, frozen in snow
And all the deer that made it their home
Tinder and woodsmoke, shadow and light
The sound of sex in the echo of night
If we were the only ones left
And all of this wood was ours
Would we leave it nameless
Or would we always walk its paths
Oh in tears I drink from their eyes
In streams under dappled light
I wonder who lived here before
Who watched as these trees grew tall
If we were the only ones left
And all of this wood was ours
Would we leave it nameless
Or would we always walk its paths
Or would we always walk its paths

Visitors

The old man cried
"I'm a visitor here, the last of my kind
I'm all that remains, of voices and names
Of ritual, culture, language and song"
The bird it flies
There were hunters here, long before our time
In skins of a deer, with animal spear
The skeleton hearts of men now lie
Dwellers of tribes, countless of lives
Civilisations long since gone
Life leaves its footprints here
For us to find our own tears
Our land don't lie
There were oceans here, no map could ever find
Lost in the flood, the sand and the mud
Our teachings, history, the prayers of our blood
Life leaves its footprints here
For us to find
The light of our brother's spear
And in his eyes our own tears
Our own tears
