Under Your Tree Lyrics

Cover art for Under Your Tree lyrics by Sonata Arctica

Okay, this is the story I see in these lyrics:

It's about a woman that gave birth to a girl and on the same day planted a tree. And she raised her daughter and had a deep relationship to her. And as the years passed, the tree grew taller. The daughter got used to rest under that tree and dream. Her mother did never quit seeing the little child in her daughter.

Then, her daughter got ill and weak. She died of that illness, but her mother could not really deal with that. She wonders how fast time has passed. She buried the urn of her daughter's ashe under the tree that was planted the day she was born.

This song explains the situation when the mother decides to go back to that tree one last time and speak to it in the hope that her words would reach her daughter. Under her daughter's tree she finally wants to let go.
