King Of Trees Lyrics - Saturnight - Cat Stevens

He was the King of trees 

Keeper of the leaves 

A deep green god of young 

Love stained memory 

We used to meet by him 

Far from the hustling town 

I loved you 

Now they've come to cut you down 

Down 

He was the guardian of days 

We held the same 

Beneath the shade he gave 

Shelter from the rain 

Oh Lord how its empty now 

With nothing save the breeze 

Now they've come to burn the leaves 

Don't burn the leaves

And if my mind breaks up 

In all so many ways 

I know the meaning of 

The words I love you 

And if my body falls inside 

An early grave 

The forest and the evergreens 

Are coming to take me back 

So slowly as I roll 

Down the track 

The forest and the evergreens 

Are coming to take me back 

The forest and the evergreens 

Are coming to take me back 

Please take me back

He was the King of trees 

Keeper of the glades 

The way he enchanted my life 

Makes me so amazed 

We used to meet by him 

Many years ago 

I love you 

Now they've come to lay the road 

Don't lay the road
