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
