I realize now You are a tree That stands there quietly watching me You're tall and green And you can sing Like a flock of birds But do you trees know, how much this hurts? How do you think I feel, my dear? Among the weeds, just standing here I water every root each day I sing you songs along the way I stroke your branches and don't whine I tell you tales to pass the time The time until you realize Of the whole forest, but I am wise Until you find that you love me I'll just sit here singing To my tree
