Dave Scott-Morgan - Jeremiah Tree Lyrics

I heard the water talk to me
As if on bended knee
And it spoke about a parable
The Jeremiah Tree
And when the spell was broken
And the glass began to shrink
I looked out over Babylon
And saw the great ships sink
And Jeremiah's daughter
She was hanging on the brink
Without a penny for the blind
Without a message for the time
But she was always thine

The water came from miles away
To bring to me a word
When I believed in Santa Claus
And anything I heard
It told me of a mystery
A future that had past
I looked out over Babylon
And saw it's cities smashed
And Jeremiah's daughter,
Standing ready for the task
With a penny for the blind
With a message for the time
She was always thine

Now the Lord was moving in the hills
And valleys far below
And he sent his special one to plant
Where nothing else would grow
But hiding in the hedgerows
Running through the fields
Satan crossed the border
He was hungry for a meal
He snatched away her heart of love
And re-fashioned it in steel
Without a penny for the blind
Without a message for the time
But she was always thine

Now the days were drawing to a close
And everyone could see
The acorns falling thick beneath
The Jeremiah Tree
And as she toiled the stony ground
She came upon the spring
And water came from everywhere
And flooded everything
And Jeremiah's daughter
Found at last the song to sing
With a penny for the blind
With a message for the time
For she was always, always thine
