No Tree To Sit Under -

Once a boy lived in a town

Played with his friends — a community

And when he needed shelter

He found it under a tree

lt was massive and it was strong

Had a kind of personality

The boy blinked and it was gone

What happened he couldn’t see

No Tree to sit under

In times when you’re alone

No Tree to sit under

Tell me what went wrong

At the stump he stood and wondered

Why his friend had disappeared

Packed his bags and Ieft him lonely

This could be foul play he feared

They cut the tree and left a note

That read «you are on your own»

He realized that trusting friends

Caused the damage that was done

No Tree to sit under

In times when you’re alone

No Tree to sit under

Tell me what went wrong

If the first is gone the next will follow

The boy had to face reality

And so have I 'cause it’s no story

You‘re right, the boy, the boy is me, yeah

No Tree to sit under

In times when you’re alone

No Tree to sit under

Tell me what went wrong

No Tree to sit under

In times when you’re alone

No Tree to sit under

Tell me what went wrong

I am here — you see

No one’s left but me

No one’s left but me
