I heard a story about a bird Who fell in love under a tree The girl he loved lived in a house In an orchard by the sea And every day they used to kiss Under the tree, close to the sea They made love there so many times Their bodies shining on the ground Once upon a forest there was a tree Will you dance with me my love? Once upon a forest there was a tree Will you dance with me? One day the tide came up so high It took the lovers by surprise The water washed them from the ground And brought them to the sea wild And from their bed under the tree A river ran down to the sea And in the water a forest rose Up to the sky wher the wind blows Once upon a forest there was a tree Will you dance with me my love? Once upon a forest there was a tree Will you dance with me? Upon a forest was found the soul Of a bird and a tree Dancing for the love to be With a girl above the sea
