THE YEW TREE is lyrics written to honor a Huge Mass of Life in a thousand-year-old Yew Tree spreading over and over out onto land in West Wales...many love this Tree of Life....

THE YEW TREE

I want to be
Under that Yew
That's in West Wales -
Spreadin' its Years
Just Earth-Givin'...
One thousand Years -
It's seen more than me -
More than any anyone has
Who's now Livin'....

An' I want to be Old Like That -
Bigger than Life is -
Than One Life could Be...
An' I want to hold Soil like that
Deep to my very Roots...
Want to know Life like That -
Bound - yet still Free....

I want to be
Deep in that Yew
That's in West Wales -
In Its Blood-stream of Sap
So Life-Given...
I want to breathe in every Green
Life it bears - every Root and each Branch
Sharin' Livin'....

An' I want to be Old Like That -
Bigger than Life is -
Than One Life could Be...
An' I want to hold Soil like that
Deep to my very Roots...
Want to know Life like That -
Bound - yet still Free...
Bound - yet so Free....
