Looking out on forests painted green We could barely see From way up top the willow trees Shaking branches, old familiar peace Was only you and me In our own worlds covered in green In a world that's filled just with flowers Can't you be my green? Someday, someday Can we just be the trees? Flowers, they all wither While trees, they stand up tall Can our loving deliver Even after it's lost? In a world that's filled just with flowers Can't you be my green? Someday, someday Can we just be the trees? You're like my sanctuary I need you to feel peace In a world that's filled just with flowers Can't you be my green? Someday, someday Can we just be the trees? Let you rest inside the shade As we waste the day away Let you rest inside the shade The shade, oh-oh
