lyrics

Whirlwinds out throwing seeds
Blooms grow up from debris

Randomly and side by side
Seasons will fall and rise

We ask for no more than this
Soil so rich, to grow

With roots growing shoots
And limbs bearing leaves and fruit

It’s just you, you and me
The tallest of trees

Time, it will strip our leaves
No rhyme or reason here to grieve

Baby, it’s a simple fact
That all we lose can grow back, soon

If we want it to (if we want it to)

Yes, we’re stuck here I guess
What looks like a mess, are roots

It’s just you, you and me
The tallest of trees

An empty nest that used to sing
The eggs that hatched will miss the spring

Underneath the overcast
The dawn is slow, the dusk is fast

So the lightning will flash
And then comes the crash

But if they dig there they’ll find
That I’m still entwined, with you

It’s just you, you and me, the tallest of trees
