I am a tree - I show my age when I don't cry
|
I have the leaves that will fall off when wind blows by
|
Don't strip off my bark - I have been stripped of it before
|
Yesterday's gone and tomorrow has so much more in store
|
|
You are a bird - you're taking off in every way
|
Say the last word until there is nothing more to say
|
|
Don't interrupt - you know the squirrels are my friends
|
Get off my limb - for I will break before I bend
|
|
I'm planning to see
|
I'm planning to feel you all over me
|
So climb up my trunk and build on your nest
|
Come and get the sap out if me
|
I am a tree!
|
Fruitless and free!
|
No symmetry!
|
Touch me and see!
|
|
I am a tree - counting my rings will do no good
|
I won't live long but I would be with you if I could
|
When you take flight, remember me to one who lives there
|
Since you have flown, there's something special in the air
