'''BLACK ASH TREE'''
</div>


<div style="text-align: center;"> I loved you once and love you still </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> But in all things we knew our fate </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Yet for a blessing, could not wait </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> I laid you down upon the grass </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> And lost ourselves in ecstasy </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Beneath the black ash tree </div>


<div style="text-align: center;"> The eve drew on and night long passed </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> You carved our names into the bark </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> And traced your finger down the mark </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Etching your love into my heart </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> I never will forget, you see </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Beneath the black ash tree </div>


<div style="text-align: center;"> Your words are now an epitaph </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> So I wandered the world alone </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Toward the way south, a star had shown </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> The light above caressed my heart </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> And called me home to honor thee </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Beneath the black ash tree </div>


<div style="text-align: center;"> The years have ended one by one </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Returning to this sacred grove </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> I ducked beneath the branches cove </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> To cherish what you left behind </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Calling forth what’s left of me </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Beneath the black ash tree </div>


<div style="text-align: center;"> I thought time could heal, I was wrong </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Now that you’re gone, my heart did die </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> But thoughts of you still make me cry </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> I traced a finger down the mark </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> To honor your sweet memory </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Beneath the black ash tree </div>


<div style="text-align: center;"> And lonely shall I ever be </div>
<div style="text-align: center;"> Beneath the black ash tree </div>
