Непроизвольное внимание

Once upon a time
Was there an old and lonely tree
By him folks had come and gone
And he was still standing still

No carved names,
No dance and prayers
Took his sorrows away
He dreamed to have
All lives and hearts
And own them all his own

The children's laughter
Tears for joy
New born babys too
Up he swallowed birds and beasts
To fill his lonely soul

Now that he is all alone
The old and lonely tree
No more song is in the wind
And the tree is standing still

Once upon a time
Was there an old and lonely tree
The clear and blue sky up above
And he was standing still

Shiny snowflakes, rain in spring
Could never ease his soul
He dreamed to have
The whole wide world
And own it all his own

Oceans and mountains
Flowers in white
The sun, the moon and stars
Even the shadows swallowed he
To fill his empty soul

Now that he is all alone
The old and lonely tree
No more day or night exists
And the tree is standing still
