Lyrics
Sing to me, like the goldfinches in our birch tree,
And all of the roses will bloom with your tune.
No-one has ever loved me so generously.
Sun-warmed soil, and a peregrine circling it all.
And all of the fieldmice lie low, and they know
No-one has ever loved me so generously.
Warm, spring rain makes the cherry trees blossom again,
And we will have cherries come June. By this tune,
I swear no-one's loved me so generously.
Country road, where this traveller shoulders his load.
No markers, no milestones, no signs, but you're mine.
And no-one will love you like me, whatever may be.
