I Am A Tree

Guided By Voices

Album: Mag Earwhig! Durasi: 4:40

I am a tree, I show my age when I don't cry

I have the leaf 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

You are a bird, you're taking off in every way

Save the last word till 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

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 get the sap out of me

I am a tree

Fruitless and free

No symmetry

Touch me and see

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
