Green Tree Uncle Walt's Band

>
In deepest ocean and far from shore
Away beneath the resounding storm
Great whales were playing full fathom nine
They were kept safe from the whaler's line
The seasons harm

As children rushing to see the fair
Together wandered in pleasure there
Though spring was calling to every heart
The desk came falling drew them apart
When raindrops fell

Why did the fragile ones seem so strong
Why did forever once seem so long

When words were gentle and love was new
When I was worthy as she was true
Beneath the branches of that Green Tree
The world was sweet to my love and me
And life secure
