If I Were a Tree Songtext

von Forest City Lovers

If I were a tree I'd shake you off
Who needs all those dying leaves?
Follow my roots to the underground
Drink wine with all the thieves
If I were a tree I'd give you wood
Make you a dendrophiliac
I'd have a laugh because I could
Oh my knots and twists are not for that

Uproot from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong
In the winter when my limbs are so bare
Uproot from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong

In the winter when my limbs are so bare

If I were a tree I would age so well,
Oh I'd watch the years paint on your face
Follow my roots to the underground
Oh, watch you disappear without a trace (Tra-a-ace)

Uproot from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong
In the winter when my limbs are so bare
Uproot from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong
In the winter when my limbs are so bare
In the winter when my limbs are so bare
In the winter when my limbs are so bare.
