Paul Weller - Trees Lyrics

Well, once I was a lover

With beautiful long brown hair
Well, once I was a lover

With beautiful long brown hair

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)



When I walk down any street

Men would stop and stare

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)



Boys would whistle

And their eyes would shine

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)



My skirt would swish

To show my long strong legs so fine

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

So fine



Was a time, I was a mother

Darling children would come for me

I loved them and I'd feed them

And in their eyes such love I'd see

They'd call my name in times of need



And I'd be there

(And they loved me)

And they loved me

(And we loved you)



And I loved them

(And they loved me)

And they loved me

(And we loved you)



Once I was a man

My cock as hard as wood

I stood as strong as any tree

Look back, the winds are catching me



So, my woman, love me

And you know I am strong

I was raised and nude as trees

I stood



My baby loves me

(My baby loves me)

My baby loves me

(My baby loves me)

My baby loves me

(My baby loves me)



I was back to this time itself

Deep and sharp within my empty cell

A comedy of errors I've become

And all my devils, I forgot

And on my name or where I've come



Someone take me back to the fields

Where I need to be

So once again I can stand tall and feel

Once more, a tree
