lyrics

The view from my room looks so different
Than it has for 100 hundred years
For today the maple came down
Now it's gone, now everything has changed

And it just don't feel the same
Empty grey skies in an empty frame
Are we the ones to blame

The stump is all that's there for us to behold
Imagine all the lives it has seen
Lovers come and gone, childhood fantasies
And this, the only place it's ever been

And it just don't feel the same
Here without you, I've lost my aim
Time is the one that claims

What's to be gained from all that is lost
Light comes pouring in now
But I miss how the shadows crossed
Weaving lace through my bedroom
Now I feel so exposed
But that was how it had to go

It couldn't stay forever, nothing ever can
Though part of its still here in the ground
And I wish that it could tell me all its stories
For the past is written in its rings of memories

And this is the new same
It's branches taken down and likely set to flame
Time is the one that claims
