Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Tree Green

And I’ve been thinking

About the wine we’re drinking

About the line we’re sinking.

I’m young as a fool, and green as a tree

Happy as a man can naturally be

A good year coming, coming running

A good year coming soon

A good year coming, coming running

A good year coming soon.

Young as a fool, green as a tree

Happy as a man can naturally be

With you… And I’ve been taking

All the love you were making

Just to keep from shaking.

I’m as young as a fool and green as a tree

Happy as a man can naturally be

I just don’t care if it just won’t come

Cos I know my time’s for free

I just don’t care if it just won’t come

Cos I know the call’s for me.

I’m happy as a man can naturally be

Living in the middle of a mystery

With you. And it’s no use grieving

About the things you’re leaving

About the lies deceiving.

Young as a fool, and green as a tree

Happy as a man can naturally be

I just don’t care if it just won’t come

Cos I know my time’s for free

I just don’t care if it just don’t come

Cos I know the call’s for me.

It just don’t matter, just don’t matter at all

It just don’t matter, just don’t matter at all

It just don’t matter, just don’t matter at all

It just don’t matter, just don’t matter at all.
