Trees In The City - Clearlake

Look around and you can see

Maybe things could be better

Evergreens haven’t been

All they promised they’d be

There’s hope there, there’s fresh air

There are trees in the city

Standing out from the background

Saying things could be worse

I wouldn’t have thought

Anything living could grow

Here what with the smoke

That I can smell on your clothes

There’s mud on your shoes

And there’s dirt in your hair

Still maybe the trees

In the city are still there

We’ll stand in the shadows

Of that dirty great cathedral

Do you ever get the feeling?

That you’re being watched

If you’re evil or wicked

Then you won’t know what hit you

It’s there to remind you

You’d best watch your step
