Traditional german folk song, slightly modernized style.
This was my test project when I recently checked out the Reaper sequencer. Although the rendering worked fine, it was impossible to work with this prog... just too buggy when it comes to MIDI/VSTi. Actually this song was intended to be a bit longer, but due to the mentioned glitches... no chance. So I sadly decided to deinstall Reaper today :o(

==== English translation:
1.
Outside the gate's a fountain
And an old Lindentree,
Under its shady branches
My dreams were sweet and free.
I carved in its old bark,
So many phrases dear.
In times of joy and sadness
It always drew me near.
2.
Today I still must wander
All through the gloomy night
'twas then that in the darkness
I closed my eyes so tight.
And I heard branches whisper
As if they called to me:
Come to me weary traveler,
You'll find your peace with me.
3.
The frigid winds were blowing
Against my face and me.
My hat flew into darkness,
I did not turn to see.
Now I am many hours
Away from this old tree
And still I hear it whispering
You'd find your peace with me.
