Under the Peach Tree - A Bards Dryad Romance
[Intro – Female Vocalist] Under the peach tree I wait and play Where moonlight bends and night turns into day No fruit is given, none are free Unless you learn the game of me Beneath the branches, soft and sly I let the sweetest answers lie So come, dear bard, and try your hand If you can reach, then understand [Verse 1 – Male Vocalist] I came beneath your glowing shade Where silver light and silence played I heard the orchard call my name Like it was pulling me to game A single peach above me hung Like every song I’ve ever sung So tell me now, don’t make me wait Is this your fruit or is it fate [Pre-Chorus 1 – Female Vocalist] If you want fruit, you must play right No gift is given without fight [Chorus 1 – Male Vocalist] Under the peach tree I begin To play the game you’ve hidden in If every chord brings one branch low Then I will let the whole song go Just give me one that I can keep Before the orchard falls asleep [Verse 2 – Male Vocalist] I strummed a rhythm through the air And felt the leaves begin to stare The branches shifted, slow and bright Like they were dancing in the light Each note I played pulled something near A laugh I swear I almost hear The peach still hangs, just out of reach Like it is learning how to teach [Pre-Chorus 2 – Female Vocalist] You climb too fast, you sing too loud The orchard moves beneath its cloud [Chorus 2 – Male Vocalist] Under the peach tree I return And every note begins to burn The higher I climb through your game The more the branches call my name If music moves what roots conceal Then let me show you what I feel [Bridge – Female Vocalist] You think the fruit is what you seek But I have listened all week The orchard plays through you as well Each note a spell I start to spell You chase the peach, but miss the sound That makes this living world go round So play your game, I’ll play mine too And see what fruit grows out of you [Pre-Chorus 3 – Female Vocalist] No hand can take what song can give No fruit is earned unless we live [EIC FINAL CHORUS – Male & Female Vocalist] Under the peach tree we collide Where songs and branches open wide You move, I sing, the orchard bends A game that never truly ends The peach was never meant to fall It only answers when we call So play me more, and I’ll reply Beneath the orchard and the sky [Outro Instrumental]
