O Spirit Tree Lyrics - Singles - Rose Moore

One day, I met a woman on the road 

She was frail and she was old 

She gave a gift to me 

A seed, a tiny seed she gave to me 

And told me plant it, you will see 

It will give all you need 

O Spirit Tree, see how it grows high now 

O mystery, the gift she gave to me 

I eat your fruit, you shelter me now I see 

O spirit tree, you are a mystery 

So now, it grows there by the open road 

A tree with branches knarled and old 

And leaves that shine like gold 

And there, beneath the ground you cannot see 

The twisted roots of that old tree 

Reach for eternity
