The Trees
(专辑: We Love Life - 2001)
I
took an air-rifle, shot a
magpie to the
ground & it died without a
sound. Your skin so pale against the
fallen Autumn leaves & no-one saw us but the
trees. Yeah, the
trees, those useless trees produce the
air that I
am breathing. Yeah, the
trees, those useless trees; they never said that you were leaving. I
carved your name with a
heart just up above now swollen, distorted, unrecognisable; like our love. The
smell of leaf mould & the
sweetness of decay are the
incense at the
funeral procession here, today. In the
trees, those useless trees, etc. You try to shape the
world to what you want the
world to be. Carving your name a
thousand times won't bring you back to me. Oh no, no I
might as well go & tell it to the
trees. Go & tell it to the
trees, yeah.
