lyrics

There is an old cottonwood whose shade is long and wide
Where I go, oh, when I find I need some time inside
A tiny place to hide

When I’m there I disappear, I’m just the quiet breeze
I escape the weight of breath, these worn hands and knees,
This heart about to seize

Each day I steal away a peach from the orchard
No fruit in this world tastes as sweet.

Mother died when I was young, I tried to carry on
Long ago I left in search of money to send home
I tried to carry on

Sunlight and rain

I journeyed both night and day, a road of dust and tears
It was written in the stars, and spoken by the seers-
Destiny brought me here
