Trees from Thurgoland EP by The Sinister Cleaners

Trees


A whip said to me
“What will I be?
Will I be happy?”
I said “you’ll be
a giant tree
a handsome tree
Just like me, son”

I am a tree, I am a tree
I am a tree, I am a tree, son

And sometimes the wind will blow
And it will snow but it will go, son
And sometimes your leaves will fall and that’s not all
But just stand tall, son

You are a tree, you are a tree
Behave like me, you are a tree, son
See me, I am a tree
Sway like me, just like a tree, son

And when lightening strikes
And our trunks split, then that is it, son?
We trees, we cast our seed, we will succeed
At least in the short run

We’re all trees, we are all mes
So few are yous, that much is true, son
Yes, we are trees but we can’t see the wood
For the other trees

See me, I am a tree
Sway like me just like a tree
