Trees

Well, once I was a lover with beautiful long brown hair

When I walked down any street, men would stop and stare

Boys would whistle and their eyes would shine

My skirt would swish to show my long strong legs so fine

Was a time I was a mother, darling children would come from me

I'd love them and I'd feed them and in their eyes, such love I'd see

They'd call my name in times of need

And I'd be there

(And they loved me)

And they loved me

(And we love you)

And I loved them

(And they loved me)

And they loved me

(And we love you)

Once I was a man

My cock as hard as wood

I stood as strong as any tree

None but the wind could pass through me

My woman loved me as no one else could

As resolute as trees I stood

My baby loves me

(My baby loves me)

My baby loves me

(My baby loves me)

My baby loves me

(My baby loves me)

Now as battered as time itself

I droop and shuffle through my empty cell

A comedy of errors I've become

And all my endeavours I've forget

Don't know my name or where I've come

Someone take me back to the fields

Where I need to be

So once again I can stand tall

And feel once more a tree
