O Rowan tree, you stand so tall and bravely
a refuge in the whirring of the storm
I wish your arms would shield me from this tempest
let me build a nest among your branches
Chorus:
If you hold me fast through the storm and the wind
I will fill your boughs with song
If you shelter me I will stretch out my wings
be the bird for whom you long
O Rowan tree, the winter winds are coming
their icy breath will fill your arms with snow
I wish that I could warm you with my feathers
let me build a nest among your branches
Chorus
O Rowan tree, your arms will soon be blooming
and breezes soon will whistle through your hands
I wish that I could crown your lovely beauty
let me build a nest among your branches
Chorus
