Cherie Tree lyrics

[Verse 1]
Awake all night to hear you breathe
I count your breath as you dream
And at the end of dreams, you grieve
But now the leaving's done and we still go on

[Chorus]
See, nothing's ever really lost
See, nothing's ever really lost

[Verse 2]
Our life force moves from thing to thing
In the orchard tree of cradle
Safe inside, safe inside
You bring me flowers every spring, every spring

[Chorus]
See, nothing's ever really lost
See, nothing's ever really lost

[Verse 3]
I hear you cryin' daughter o' mine
Down in the orchard just below
Lonely, so lonely, but not forgotten
I made the hardest, hardest choice
The leaving is done, and we go on
[Bridge]
And while I build our empire
I tend you and love you as before
You'll always be my girl
My little baby girl

[Chorus]
See, nothing's ever really lost
See, nothing's ever really lost

[Verse 4]
Our life force moves (Our life force moves) from thing to thing (From thing to thing)
(Time is slow) But without you, child, time is slow, so slow
In the orchard, as before
Bring me flowers every spring
See, nothing's ever really lost (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Outro]
See, nothing's ever really lost, lost
