Tree Green

(album: The Road To Ruin - 1970)

And I've been thinking
About the wine we're drinking
About the line we're sinking

I'm young as a fool, and green as a tree
Happy as a man can naturally be
A good year coming, coming running
A good year coming soon
A good year coming, coming running
A good year coming soon

Young as a fool, green as a tree
Happy as a man can naturally be
With you… And I've been taking
All the love you were making
Just to keep from shaking

I'm as young as a fool and green as a tree
Happy as a man can naturally be
I just don't care if it just won't come
Cos I know my time's for free
I just don't care if it just won't come
Cos I know the call's for me

I'm happy as a man can naturally be
Living in the middle of a mystery
With you. And it's no use grieving
About the things you're leaving
About the lies deceiving

Young as a fool, and green as a tree
Happy as a man can naturally be
I just don't care if it just won't come
Cos I know my time's for free
I just don't care if it just don't come
Cos I know the call's for me

It just don't matter, just don't matter at all
It just don't matter, just don't matter at all
It just don't matter, just don't matter at all
It just don't matter, just don't matter at all
