Here I am
Sitting under the tree
Where you left for the war
Saying that we'd start our family when you returned
Telling me not to worry and that you'd write everyday
So this is where I stayed
Waiting for your return
Here I am
Sitting under the bare tree
I haven't heard from you in two weeks
And even though you told me not to
I'm starting to worry
But I still stayed
Waiting for your return
Here I am
Sitting under the snow covered tree
I was just informed that you were killed in action
It felt like forever before I could stop crying
But I denied everything they told me
Hoping that you were still alive
So this is where I stayed
Waiting for your return
Here I am
Sitting under the blooming tree
I went to your grave today
Shed so many tears that I could cry no more
I'm starting to believe that you truly are gone
I'm starting to lose faith that you're still out there
So even though I'm starting to doubt
I stayed under the tree
Waiting for your return
Here I am
Sitting under the full tree
It's been a year now
And I had a dream about you
You came to say good-bye
I'm sad but relieved
I'm sad because I'll never see you again
But I'm relieved because you found your way back
You found your way back home
And so I no longer stayed under the tree
Waiting for your return
