Be my roots, my love
and I will be your shade
and in the heat of summer sun
i'll draw deep from you
so my strength won't fade
fall comes falling on us two
oh, the colors I'll rain on you!
so when winter's winds come,
like teeth gnashing to the bone
my leaves will smother cover you
granting warmth you've never known
springtime will restore me
my limbs will house the birds
hear the songs they sing
songs of love you've never heard
songs of love for two as we
if you will be my roots
i will gladly be your shade
my love for you is truth
and my love will never fade
