English Trees Lyrics

Crowded House English Trees

English trees in my garden
We planted seeds in a faraway land
In between the palms and the succulent grove

They lose their leaves in the winter
Mark the seasons for him and for her
Once upon a time in the falling snow
Up against the sky, made a silhouette show

England cries and she plays for him
The chords entwined like a requiem
And though it?s springtime and color is new
In Regent?s Park, I will mourn for you

And I must be wise somehow
?Cause my heart?s been broken down

It?s so far to fall and so hard to climb
Nothing?s sadder, I know
Than the passing of time

Won?t forget me
You won?t forget me

English trees in my garden
Summers missed you, my darling
Yeah, all your crimes are forgiven
Yeah, all your crimes are forgiven
And I must be wise somehow

You won?t forget me
You won?t forget me
And England cries

There?s English trees in my garden
