Artist/Band: Guided by Voices
Lyrics for Song: I Am A Tree
Lyrics for Album: Mag Earwhig [1997]



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 and get the sap out if 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
