The Lonely Tree

I sit by the window late at night
Staring into the darkness
I am alone once more
Not knowing the cause

What was once had has disappeared
Though the pain's still there
But we both know we'll meet again
Even if the birds don't sing

The river will flow
And so descends the snow
But you won't see me
Lay beside the lonely tree

The truth is crystal clear
It's within your mind
Though the fog of mistrust
Can mystify your thoughts

I watch the world go by
Through different eyes
I hear the laughter and cries
But still I hide

The river will flow
And so descends the snow
But you won't see me
Lay beside the lonely tree

The circle is drawn
And the chalk is layed to rest
The birds sing once more
Though the tree isn't alone

That's pretty good. Just one question : no rhyming in the verses?

Who cares about if there is no rhyming.
I think its very good and Im being truthful its beautiful.

Thanks. The reason for the lack of rhyming is a simple one; it isn't needed. Rhyming can add to certain songs and take away from others and the way this song was wrote I felt it didn't so much need to have rhymes but rather tell a story. :)

This is really good!
What was once had has disappeared
Though the pain's still there
But we both know we'll meet again
Even if the birds don't sing
I love this bit especially. Do you sing at all or play the guitar? xxxxx

Thanks! I tried to link that part to the last verse to kind of have the running theme throughout. I play guitar but unfortunately cannot sing.
