Paul Weller - Trees Lyrics
Well, once I was a lover with beatiful long brown hairWhen I walked down any street, men would stop and stareBoys whistle and their eyes would shineMy skirt would swish to show my long strong legs so fineWas a time I was a mother, darling children would come from meI'd love them and I'd feed them and their eyes, such love I'd seeThey'd call my name in times of needAnd I'd feed them and their eyes, such love I'd seeThey'd call my name in times of needAnd I'd be thereOnce I was a manMy ***** as hard as woodI stood as strong as any treeNone but the wind could pass through me My woman loved meas no one else couldAs resolute as trees I stoodNow as battered as time itself I droop and shuffle through my empty cellA comedy of errors I've becomeAnd all my endeavours I've forgotDon't know my name or where I've comeSomeone take me back to the fieldsWhere I need to beSo once again I can stand tallAnd feel once more a tree
