lyrics

Leaving the shoppers and the hawkers, tied in neon-lighted knots
Leaving the TV demagogues, for the smell of leaves and honest rot
Amongst the manmade canyons, a tree without companion
On a plot the developers forgot

A tree older than even, all the ancient buildings
It’s a tree of heathens, with no coin to lay at the root, to lay at the root
Give me your silence, give me leaves to baffle the sound
Give the world where you were the tallest thing around

A tree older than even, all the ancient buildings
It’s a tree of heathens, with no coin to lay at the root, to lay at the root
Give me your silence, give me leaves to baffle the sound
Give the world where you were the tallest thing around
