My branches we're higher than anything on the hillside

On the day that I watched them all come

Some wear the color of the sky in the winter
F#m
Some we're as blue as the night
Bm
They came like a storm with the light of the morning
F#m E F#m
And they fell thru the whole day and night
A E A
Colors flew high and they danced in the sky
F#m D
As I watched them come over the hill
A E A
Then to my wonder sticks that made thunder
F#m D
Such a great number lay still

When the light came again there was death on the wind

For the ones that will never return

Those that have fallen they come when I call them
F#m
And answer the best that they can

But all they can see is what they used to be
F#m
And that's all that they understand
A E
The colors flew high and they danced in the sky
