David James Stewart Where Eleanor Can Sleep
Tonight I found a picture, a picture of your smile
A smile I haven’t seen, seen in quite a while
But I hope tonight I could put that smile back upon your face
If you come and stay a while
Come and stay a while
And if you could be a tree
What kind of tree would you be
I would be an apple to feed our family
You could be a willow, one that never weeps
And in the comfort of your shade
Eleanor can sleep
Eleanor can sleep
You were the steward the keeper, protector of my heart
Until the breath lent to us chooses to depart
You would have been my joy, beloved of my hand
So before our king in confidence we stand
And if you could be a tree
What kind of tree would you be
I would be an apple to feed our family
You could be a willow, one that never weeps
And in the comfort of your shade
Eleanor can sleep
Eleanor can sleep
And if you could be a tree
What kind of tree would you be
I would be an apple to feed our family
You could be a willow, one that never weeps
And in the comfort of your shade
Eleanor can sleep
Eleanor can sleep
