Tree Of The Year Lyrics

Beans On Toast Tree Of The Year

She was the tree of the year
She had her time in the sun
One day she was here the next day she was gone
It'll make you laugh
It'll make you cry
But you can't say you're surprised
If you could hear her whisper
Hear her shout
Hear her screaming as she came crashing down
Older that the highstreet
Younger than the city
Just doing her thing taking it slowly
I'm looking for someone to believe in
But i'd settle for something
Trying to imagine a simpler time
When she was king
Laying down roots
Standing up tall
The kind of patience that's easy to ignore
Celebrated one day
With a flimsy award
Fell in the name of nothing expect always wanting more
She wanted nothing
For the gifts that she gave
The air that we breath her shelter and her shade
The murder of a god
In front of our eyes
On a lonely Monday morning as we walked on by
I'm looking for someone to believe in
But i'd settle for something
Trying to imagine a simpler time
When she was king
