Banyan Tree

I gave myself up for lost in the shadow of a dim delight

That distant blue haze found no response this time

I might settle here forever, grow some roots and fall asleep

I might settle down forever

Grow them slowly, slowly as I sleep

In the shadow of a banyan tree

In the shadow of a banyan tree

Here I’ll dream you into being

In the shadow of a banyan tree

Glad humiliation, I’ve conquered my defeat

Easy, easy, turn the other cheek

Not shame nor longing could get me to my feet

I might settle here forever, grow some roots and fall asleep

I might settle down forever

Grow them slowly, slowly as I sleep

In the shadow of a banyan tree

In the shadow of a banyan tree

Here I’ll dream you into being

In the shadow of a banyan tree

I have settled here forever, grew some roots and fell asleep

I have settled down forever

As you slowly, slowly grew on me

In the shadow of a banyan tree

Easy to find and hard to leave

Here I dreamt you into being

In the shadow of a banyan tree
