The Linden Tree - The New London Chorale[00:00:00]
Upon a distant hillside[00:00:00]
There stands a linden tree[00:00:06]
As children we would play there[00:00:12]
My friends and you and me[00:00:19]
We thought that it would never end[00:00:25]
For children never see[00:00:32]
We thought that we would always play[00:00:37]
Around the linden tree around the linden tree[00:00:44]
One day your eyes were misty[00:01:00]
As eyes can sometimes be[00:01:06]
You told me that you loved me[00:01:12]
Beside the linden tree[00:01:19]
I thought you'd always be around[00:01:25]
For lovers never see[00:01:32]
I thought our children soon would play[00:01:38]
Around the linden tree around the linden tree[00:01:44]
But then the trumpet sounded[00:02:00]
And love was not to be[00:02:06]
The call to death or glory[00:02:12]
Took you away from me[00:02:19]
You thought that you would never die[00:02:25]
For soldiers never see[00:02:32]
But we will never meet again[00:02:38]
Beneath the linden tree beneath the linden tree[00:02:44]
And now I lay my flowers[00:02:57]
Beside the linden tree[00:03:03]
