I'm a tree (2009-2010)
I'm a tree I'm a tree
forever every day
I'm a tree I'm a tree
I'll never walk away
I'm a tree I'm a tree
I'll be standing here
I'm a tree I'm a tree
but I'm leaving once a year.
Build your nest on my bough
put your arms around my trunk
raise your kids, make a vow
I want to be your bunk
Carve our mark
onto my bark.
I'm a tree
lean on me
I'm a tree
rest in my lee
I'm a tree
and I'll always be
climb to the top
watch over the sea
swing in the wind
and feel free.
I'm a tree I'm a tree
you'll never pick like a rose
I'm a tree I'm a tree
as a flower I can't pose
I'm a tree I'm a tree
I won't see Paris, Rome
I'm a tree I'm a tree
I'm just sulking at my home.
Bird of passage flies away
soon it disappears
wistfulness makes me gray
the only souvenirs
are feathers like griefs
on my leafs.
[Chorus]
I'm a tree I'm a tree
I can never wear boots
I'm a tree I'm a tree
I can't give up my roots
I'm a tree I'm a tree
I won't kneel on the altar
I'm a tree I'm a tree
I'll never march Elgar.
I'm an oak, maple, pine
winter, autumn, spring
in the snow, in the shine
I just want to cling
to the ground
solid and sound.
[Chorus]
