This old man I've talked about
+
Broke his own heart,
+
Poured it in the ground.
+
Big red tree grew up and out,
+
Throw up its leaves,
+
Spins round and round.
+
I know all this and more.
+
So take your hat off
+
When you're talking to me
+
And be there when I feed the tree.
+
This little squirrel I used to be
+
Slammed her bike down the stairs.
+
They put silver where her teeth had been.
+
Baby silvertooth,she grins and grins.
+
I know all this and more.
+
So take your hat off boy
+
When you're talking to me
+
And be there when I feed the tree.
+
Take your hat off boy
+
When you're talking to me
+
And be there when I feed the tree.
+
This old man I used to be
+
Spins around, around, around the tree.
+
Silver baby come to me.
+
I'll only hurt you in my dreams.
+
I know all this and...
+
I know all this and...
+
I know all this and more.
+
So take your hat off boy
+
When you're talking to me
+
And be there when I feed the tree.
+
Take your hat off
+
When you're talking to me
+
And be there when I feed the tree
