Bert Jansch - Tree Song lyrics

I wish I had a photograph To let you see the way you smile Upon my foolish heart The words I do not know enough I hope that you will find my song A pleasing to your ear You step beneath the midnight moon To gather dewdrops for the sun A Waiting until morn Oh if I was a branched tree I'd be the oak tree fast and strong To win your gentle heart And If I was one grain of corn I'd wait till you did come along To throw me to the wind And if I was one silken thread Embroidered all in cherry red Upon your breast I'd lie And if I was the alder tree I'd burn it fiercely over thee Our love would surely last And if I was the hawthorn bush And you did shelter under me I would not do you harm And if I was one gla** of wine One sip from you would give me time To take you by the hand And all across the hills we'd go In search of what no-one does know Except for you and I
