The frost lies thick along the ridge I walk between the winter trees The ones you planted by the stream Still stand where you said they would And I cut away the heavy grey To let the green come through The earth is cold, the branches old And I’m keeping watch for you (Keeping watch for you) The air is sharp, the soil is dark I take my time with every tree I find the cuts you made last year And leave the ones you’d leave And I cut away the heavy grey To let the green come through The earth is cold, the branches old And I’m keeping watch for you (Keeping watch for you) The blossom opens, pink and white I stay until there’s hardly light And I’m keeping watch for you _______________________ Original Lyrics by Mickey Wilder. © All rights reserved.
