Gordon Lightfoot - A Tree To Weak To Stand Lyrics

I see a place where candles burn and lovers rest tonightThe hollow sound inside me now keeps telling me to writeBut songs of love will never leave love's feelings undefiledThe tide has turned, the waves roll in, the waters fil lmy eyesThe price of lust has risen till the ceiling will not standThe tears I shed were not in shame, the world was in my handsIf trust was just a simple thing then trusting I would beBut deep within my soul I know it's better to be freeThe days fly by, the waves roll in, but freedom has not comeI fear my faith will soon give out, my senses come undoneMy role is played, the demon dogs come stealin' o'er landAnd foolish I would climb once more a tree too weak to standI see a place where candles burn and lovers rest tonightThe hollow sound inside me now keeps telling me to writeBut songs of love should not be sung where staying is not plannedAnd foolish I would climb once more a tree too weak to standAnd foolish I would climb once more a tree too weak to stand
