Guided By Voices I Am A Tree
E.Anderl I am a tree - I show my age when I don´t cry I have the leaves that will fall off when wind blows by Don´t strip off my bark - I have been stripped of it before Yesterday´s gone and tomorrow has so much more in store You are a bird - you´re taking off in every way Say the last word until 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 wont 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
