CROWDED HOUSE - English Trees lyrics

rate me

English trees in my garden

We planted seeds in a faraway land

In between the palms and the succulent grove

They lose their leaves in the winter

Mark the seasons for him and for her

Once upon a time in the fallen snow

Up against the sky made a silhouette show

England cries and she plays for him

Two chords entwined like a requiem

Although it’s springtime, colour is new

In Regent’s Park, I will mourn for you

And I must be wise somehow

‘Cause my heart’s been broken down

It’s so far to fall

And so hard to climb

Nothing’s sadder, I know

Than the passing of time

Won’t forget me

You won’t forget me

English trees in my garden

Summer’s missed you, my darling

And all your crimes are forgiven

Yeah, all your crimes are forgiven

And I must be wise somehow

English trees in my garden
