Intro: If I were a tree I'd shake you off, Who needs all those dying leaves? I'd follow my roots to the underground, Drink wine with all the thieves. If I were a tree I'd give you wood, Make you a dendrophiliac. I'd have a laugh because I could; Oh, my knots and twists are not for that. Uproot me from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong In the winter when my limbs are so bare Uproot me from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong In the winter when my limbs are so bare If I were a tree I would age so the well; I'd watch the years paint on your face. Follow my roots to the underground, Watch you disappear without a trace...trace. Uproot me from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong, In the winter when my limbs are so bare. Uproot me from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong, In the winter when my limbs are so bare. In the winter when my limbs are so bare. In the winter when my limbs are so bare.
