 Cedar Tree By: Noah Eaton 3/23/03 (Verse 1: Acoustic) She leaves her diary on the coffee table Beside her old wicker chair She hops out onto the garden Still wearing her nightgown, brushing her long hair She looks upon a yellow ribbon Tied around the trunk of a cedar tree Beside an empty well Too anxious just to see… (Pre-Chorus 1: Acoustic) Her anxiety is bottled up inside her Like a shipwreck at Anegada She can feel the lightning crashing Playing charades she can’t comprehend Her heart bleeding as purple As a sunset in Martinique But she still holds the Torah under her arm Believing the Lord is following him… (Verse 2: Dance Beats Introduced, Acoustic/Electric Mix) On an elderly branch there rests a Bullock’s Oriole Keeping her company on long afternoons She swears she sees golden apples sometimes Other times she finds the acorns falling too soon And the southern breeze is but a remedy And the cedar trees dance when she feels emmetropic She can see clearly now The trees too are sympathetic (Pre-Chorus 2: Acoustic/Electric/Dance Mix) Her anxiety is bottled up inside her Like a shipwreck at Anegada She can feel the lightning crashing Playing charades she can’t comprehend Her heart bleeding as purple As a sunset in Martinique But she still repeats Psalm 104 Believing the Lord is following him… (Chorus: Acoustic/Electric/Dance Mix) "So spread the light to him like a tent, Raise his palace safely on the waters Make the clouds his chariot Have these cedars of Lebanon provide him shelter I want the moon to mark his seasons I want the sun to know their settings I want the oil to gleam his face I want your Grace, Lord" (repeat chorus 3X, fades...) ***Quoted Portion includes lines from Psalm 104*** "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

Noah, how I wish that I could hear your songs! I know that your voice would truly be the voice of an angel...pure, sweet...and with the ring of truth, love, beauty and wisdom--as does your poetry! Love & Light, Linda |
