English Trees Songtext

von Crowded House

English trees in my garden
They planted seeds in a faraway land
Inbetween the palms and the succulent grow
They lose their leaves in the winter
Mark the seasons for him and for her
Once upon a time, in the falling snow
Up against the sky , made a silhouette show
England cries and she plays for him
Her chords entwined like a requiem
And though its springtime and colour is new
In regents park I will mourn for you
And I must be wise somehow
Cos my hearts been broken down
Its so far to fall
Its so hard to climb
Nothing sadder I know
Than the passing of time
You won't forget me, you won't forget me
Like english trees in my garden
Summers missed you my darling
All your crimes are forgiven
All your crimes are forgiven
I must be wise somehow
You won't forget me
You won't forget me
Theres english trees in my garden
