[Verse 1] It was the first to the tellings of all of the fellings The axes swings and the bite of the blade Thirteen wings bind the forest kings As the doorway opens into the shade You called down the swallows and we wore their wings Followed that path to all that it brings As we counted, oh we counted A thousand tree rings [Chorus] And the time of dreaming has come In the dance of night, calling for the light Of a million moons, a thousand tree rings [Verse 2] The lonely crow called And the dark wood barked And the yew buried floor in the sun of the lark In the memory of water Sea unwalked and unsaid Untrodden, unbidden, unmade in our beds See the bark never trodden, and the axe never swung The dreams that weve had since the battle was won A haunting, a blaze Seven cloaks never worn A thousand tree rings And we counted, oh we counted A thousand tree rings [Chorus] And the time of dreaming has come In the dance of night, calling for the light Of a million moons, a thousand tree rings And the time of dreaming has come In the dance of night, calling for the light Of a million moons, a thousand tree rings
