lyrics

Thousands of wishes
Hanging by threads
Dreams in deadwood
The colour of your hair
Holding onto hope
Inside beaten arms
Bearing the secrets
Of these poison charms

The blueprint of who you were born to be
In a photograph on the witness tree
A token of all your hopes and dreams
In a silver coin on the witness tree

It's human hope
Sweet-scented beliefs
In the knotted roots
In the sound of the leaves
Here you were standing
Where it lifted up
Into the heavens
Like a comet of love

The blueprint of who you were born to be
In a photograph on the witness tree
A token of all your hopes and dreams
In a silver coin on the witness tree

Enduring wishes (on the witness tree)
The sound of dreams
Our blueprints (on the witness tree)
Who we were born to be
In the arms of hope (on the witness tree)
It's just you and me
Bearing our secrets (on the witness tree)
To the witness tree
