Verse I: Asleep with the trees in a too long winter I stayed so still until I started to splinter But when the sun came out to see me She told me to get up on my feet

Chorus: If a heat wave would carry you away Find yourself a spot in my shade Feel the sunlight tamed through leaves And the tempest quiet to a whispered breeze

verse II: Awake with the blossoms I breathe in summer I am just like them I am sweeter than clover If you hold me to your eager ear You’ll hear me sing through ocean tears

chorus: If a heat wave would carry you away Find yourself a spot in my shade Feel the sunlight tamed through leaves And the tempest quiet to a whispered breeze

Verse III: If I bloom for the eyes of a tired stranger I’m Edelweiss for the hearts who wander Like the gentle song that kept me on I’ll be the porch light that brings you home

Chorus: If a heat wave would carry you away Find yourself a spot in my shade Feel the sunlight tamed through leaves And the tempest quiet to a whispered breeze
