You are my bird and I am your tree
and I will stay here, as you fly away from me.
I can't take it, well you know I can't take it.
Time goes by. Winter will come, you feed off me.
The last you see, and i'm dying, can't you see i'm dying?
You say it's always me, I say it's always you, but we know.
I say its always you, you say its always me, but we know.
You blinded by the sun, the shining light that it shone.
The shade I gave, oh my leaves were to save you
Oh--- don't you know I saved you
You say it's always me, I say it's always you, but we know.
I say its always you, you say its always me, but we know.
Oh you know I saved you, Oh you know I saved you
Oh can't you see i'm dying, Oh while you're lying
Oh--- but we know, oh--- but we know.
You are my bird and I am your tree
and I will stay here, as you fly away from me.
As you fly away from me.
