I Am a Tree

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 'Cause yesterday's gone and tomorrow has so much more in store [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 of me I am a tree! Fruitless and free! No symmetry! Touch me and see! [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] I'm planning to see I'm planning to feel all over me So climb up my trunk and build on your nest Come get the sap out if me I am a tree! Fruitless and free! No symmetry! Touch me and see, yeah I am a tree, yeah Fruitless and free, yeah No symmetry, yeah
