Underneath The Tree by Tammy Jann © 2017 Child of the forest looking for her home animals gather then leave her alone Her moon dappled face with stars in her eyes she's seeking comfort under the dark skies a whisper above of chattering leaves an invitation to sleep with the trees Chorus And the roots spread around down underneath the tree and they're stretching out to drink from the creek they cradle her with their moss so green the roots she found are her home underneath the tree a lifetime of love is lived in her home and the old woman never feels alone the leaves sing to her the tree loves to dance animals come by to drink and to prance The tree is happy the lady is loved by the roots below and the leaves above Chorus And the roots spread around down underneath the tree and they're stretching out to drink from the creek they cradle her with their moss so green the roots she found are her home underneath the tree
