The Singing Tree

The Singing Tree - Jeffrey/Jack Lewis

There are a million roots

Of the singing tree

And it has a million branches

And it each branch a million leaves

Rain falls in the river

River falls in the sea

The sea falls upside down

Into the singing tree

The singing tree is hidden

The singing tree is dark

The singing tree has castles

Hidden in its bark

The castles have no kings

The castles have no queens

The people are all just words there

Sung by the singing tree

Today I got a phone call

On my ansering machine

It said Hello is Jeff there

This is the Singing Tree

You might be surprised I'm calling

You might be surprised I have a phone

But no one wants to be a quiet tree in the woods falling like a lonely telephone pole

And I'm lonely tree now

And I don't want to fall in the woods

I want to find a honey bee now

To take me all around the world

I want to stop barking up the wrong tree

I want to turn over a new leaf

I want to go back to the country

I want to find the singing tree
