An Olive Tree

one day, while in the south of france,

my good friend said I should hug an olive tree,

she claimed that dreams come true when you do, but

can a plant be in any way that beneficial to me?



though i'm a famous sceptic, feet on the ground,

this time i wanted this to be true

now picture this:

a silly polish girl in nice

embracing trees

wishing for you



hug an olive tree!

i take it--things are looking good

still--could be better,

there's always something to improve

and so you should

hug an olive tree

i take it--things are looking good

still--could be better,

there's always something to improve

oh yes we should



so when you're in the south of france

and you've got dreams,

look for some magic gardens with olive trees



though i'm a famous sceptic, feet on the ground,

this time i wanted this to be true

some olive branch must have heard my desperate heart

'cause i wear the crown

the olive crown, i wear the olive crown

and so do you
