Arborglyph Songtext
von Gaz Brookfield

There′s a hill near where I live
With a wood on top of it
And the fence has fallen down
And the trees are all around
And the stories that they tell
Of the men who went through hell
Are written there to see
In the very living trees

From the beaches of Aldbourne to the beaches of Normandy
Reach out through time as the arbour glyph talks to me
Carved in the bark so I'd always remember your name


As I stand where you once did
I am reminded
Of the sacrifice you made
And the youthful life you gave
And a chill goes down my spine
When I think about the time
When you stood here before
In 1944

From the beaches of Aldbourne to the beaches of Normandy
Reach out through time as the arbour glyph talks to me
Carved in the bark so I′d always remember your name

Walking this path is like walking the line
Between present and past
Who knew trees could be time machines
Capturing the tiniest glimpse of the men you became
Of the men you became
Of the men you became

From the beaches of Aldbourne to the beaches of Normandy
Reach out through time as the arbour glyph talks to me
Carved in the bark so I'd always remember your name

Walking this path is like walking the line
Between present and past
Who knew trees could be time machines
Capturing the tiniest glimpse of the men you became
Of the men you became
