Hello tree

Hello tree, I'm talking to you
With your big green leaves, and your big trunk too
How's the grass from where you are?
Can you talk to them from up so far?
Hello tree, I'm talking to you
Don't you miss the sky's rich hue?
Fall has come, and so have the clouds
Please don't give me that awful frown
Oh, I don't understand the time
You've spent standing there your whole life
Oh, please don't ever, ever die
They'll cut you down and steal your pride
Oh, they'll cut you down and steal your pride
Hello tree, I'm talking to you
I'm pretty cold, how about you?
Don't you hate the smell of hay
Leaves dried, withered and blown away?
Hello tree, I'm talking to you
It's been awhile, plus a year or two
All the birds have left, and the squirrels moved
But what did you ever have to lose?
Oh, I can't comprehend the time
You've spent caring for your wildlife
Oh, you won't ever, ever die
'Cause I've climbed you many, many times
Oh, you'll live inside me all my life

I'm on the run from him
He stole my shoes and my hat
Hey, can you give those back?
I need to move, and quick
Hey little girl, your smile
I've seen it somewhere, it's nice
I'll give you anything you ask for
Just promise to give me a hug
I'm running out of time
To see my girl, my dime
I'm looking for a little kiss
Hey little girl, your smile
I've seen it somewhere, it's nice
I'll give you anything you ask for
Just promise to give me a hug
Hey little girl, your smile
I've seen it somewhere, it's nice
I'll give you anything you ask for
Just promise to give me a hug
Hey little girl, your smile
I've seen it somewhere, it's nice
I'll give you anything you ask for
Just promise to hold my hand

I know it's been a while
Since you left me
I don't know what was wrong
Did you give me blame for a fault I made?
I bet you're right
Don't mess with me, I'm a preteen
And anything you say is wrong
I don't know, oh but I know
That I will love you more than him
I'll try to reconcile
But it may be a futile attempt
Who knows what you'll say?
Oh, you're such a mess
How did I never see how hopeless you are?
Don't mess with me, I'm a preteen
And anything you say is wrong
I don't know, oh but I know
That I will love you more than him

A good wait
03:11

One day, two days, three days, two weeks
I just want to see your smile
Walks in the rain, with you, my dear
Long waits, long drives, gas price, sunshine
I just want to spend some time
Your hand in mine, watching the stars above
You say next week, I say right now
I am a real whiner, yes
But I can wait nonetheless
Oh, conflict with the parents
With time itself, with our schedules
I cannot do this alone
Now I'm right here, and you're right there
I just want to make you smile
Must I leave so soon? I'll stay a bit longer my dear
It's a good wait 'till I see your face
It's a good wait. I can wait it out

For you
03:29

You were waiting for a train
Waiting in the rain
Waiting for me to arrive
For you. Oh, you, my pretty girl
Oh, you have been waiting for a kiss
A single moment of bliss
A moment from me, oh my love
For you. Oh, you, my pretty girl
Why have you been so far away?
When you're gone, my heart is clay
You make it soft; you make it warm
My heart, my heart, you make it whole
Now I'm here to give you that kiss
But you won't take it. No, you won't
You just don't care
My pretty girl, now estranged
By the long distance
You faded away
Now I'm waiting for the train
Waiting in the rain
To go back home. Without you
Without a kiss, just me, all alone
But I'll come right back

You have been so far away
That I had to ask what to do with my space
Walking around in an empty town
It just feels so insane
Standing on the seashore
Watching all the boats go by
Talking to the breeze
Thinking 'bout our last goodbye
Oh yeah, I just miss you so much
May I ask, as to why you left me so long ago?
You have been so far away
That I had to ask what to do with my space
Walking around in an lonely town
I miss you just the same
Walking on the beach path
Watching all the birdies fly
Standing in the breezeway
Waiting for your car to come back
Oh yeah, won't you please come back home?
I must see your smile before I accept that you're gone

Darling, stop that crying
What could you feel so down about?
I don't see what's wrong
Just calm yourself, it's all alright
I'll talk all night
But I'm oblivious to pain you experience, I'm fine
But I can stay here, just take your venting, I'm fine
Darling, now you're shaking
You tell me that you're not thin enough
How can I help you?
I could remind you that you're perfect enough
To me, sweetheart
But I'm oblivious to pain you experience, I'm fine
But I can stay here, just take your venting, I'm fine
Guess I'm just as helpless as you
Will this battle ever cease?
We fight at your expense
I just sit and watch you fall apart
And put yourself back together again
But I can endure this, if you can endure that, I'll stay
Oh, I want you better, but when you are not, I'll stand
If I can indeed help you, I'll do whatever I can
I'll hold your hand
We'll keep our stand

So, here we are
Back where we first were
My voice has been through quite a lot today
And my fingers are all callused up, I guess
That's right
Here's the harmony
But I have no one to sing the melody today
I need to find a clone of myself
Someone Just like me, I guess

Be safe
01:43

How could I talk to someone
Who has been in an accident?
How could I sympathize with
My good friend who has been through hell?
But I can hold their hand
And say be safe, be strong
How could I look at someone
Who has lost their beloved?
Could I handle their gaze upon me
Their eyes so full of regret?
But I can hold their hand
And cry with them
And look at them in the eye and say
I love you
Be safe
