Chuck Black - Live Oak (Live From Eric's Garden)

I'm an old man
Of green and brown
When the world was still quiet
I rose from this ground

My leaves announce the season
The stories in my rings
I've seen all the men
With no care for growing things

Stump and Bramble
Root and twig
Summer, fall
Winter, spring
Live oak
Live oak

My brothers wake in sunshine glory
And start the rites of spring
The birds alight and chatter
Squirrels do their bickering

When the evening comes
And the crickets serenade
I'll wave at these stars
In this moonlit promenade

Stump and Bramble
Root and twig
Summer, fall
Winter, spring
Live oak
Live oak

When I thirst in autumn drought
I'll look upon green plain
To quench my bones beneath the earth
And smile when it rains

The clouds will come and skies will darken
But they will move along
When it's clear and the east wind blows
I'll whisper out this song

Stump and Bramble
Root and twig
Summer, fall
Winter, spring
Live oak
Live oak
Live oak
Live oak
