I can't imagine the trees Looking any other way Than the way they do right now In the winter I can't imagine the naked skeletons Clothed in springs blossoms In the spring I can only wonder how they'll look Once the tiny, baby-fresh greens uncurl In the summer I cannot see the lush foliage Enrobed in the reds and browns and golds And in the fall I try not to imagine how the trees will look Stripped bare and cold and bleak I often can't imagine Feeling any other way Than the way I feel right now Some days I feel cavernous Like the world around me is caving in And I can't imagine where laughter comes from Some days nothing could stop me smiling Joy fills me up And I fear the next time when it feels like The emptiness will go on forever

I Can't Imagine The Trees
I can't imagine the trees Looking any other way Than the way they do right now In the winter I can't imagine the naked skeletons Clothed in springs blossoms In the spring I can only wonder how they'll look Once the tiny, baby-fresh greens uncurl In the summer I cannot see the lush foliage Enrobed in the reds and browns and golds And in the fall I try not to imagine how the trees will look Stripped bare and cold and bleak I often can't imagine Feeling any other way Than the way I feel right now Some days I feel cavernous Like the world around me is caving in And I can't imagine where laughter comes from Some days nothing could stop me smiling Joy fills me up And I fear the next time when it feels like The emptiness will go on forever
