lyrics

Feeling like a tree
Falling in the forest
No one else can see
See or hear me
The noises I’m making
Love that I’m faking
Oh how did you know

I’m a sunny day
Above a rain cloud
All the people say
Put up your umbrella
The rain drops keep falling
Sounds like they’re calling
Calling your name

And if I was a bird
I’d be flying
If I was a little girl
I’d probably be crying
For all them little birds
That never make their landing
Leave us standing alone

On a hill above the sea
Hill above the sea
Ships keep on rolling
Fog horns are blowing
Like pages of a book unbound

I would read that book
But the pages have gone missing
I would sing that song
If somebody was listening
Like the quiet calling
Of a tree that’s falling
Alone in the woods
