TREE SPEAK

I miss the sweet pitter patter of bare feet

all through my house

It's quiet enough to be covered up but

It won't ever be drowned out

'Cause even as you grow

Those feet run on in my mind

And even if I try to slow down time God knows

That time don't mind

Why do the trees get to grow old so slowly

Their colours change as the seasons go

And then their leaves fall slowly 

Shedding the colours that they've outgrown

Childhood is fleeting to all except kids

Just remember the tales we'd spin

Just think back on the rocks we skipped

Back when the only alarm we had was

Running home from the dark again

I miss the sweet ever after of you

I miss your taste on my mouth

I still feel the lingering warmth of your body

I feel the cold all through this house

But just look at what we made

It's kind of funny how it ends

But if I could go back and change things time can't change

I'd do it all again

Why do the trees get to grow old so slowly

Their colours change as the seasons go

And then their leaves fall slowly

Shedding the colours that they've outgrown

True love is fleeting to all except kids

Just remember the good times then

Just think back on the love we lived

Back when the only alarm we had was

Our kids chasing the dark out again

Why do the trees get to grow old so slowly

Their colours change as the seasons go

And then their leaves fall slowly

Shedding the colours that they've outgrown

Childhood is fleeting to all except kids

Just remember the tales we'd spin

Just think back on the rocks we skipped

Back when the only alarm we had was

Running home from the dark again
