I Am a Tree

I am a tree, I show my age when I don't cry I have the leaf that will fall off when wind blows by Don't strip off my bark, I have been stripped of it before 'Cause yesterday's gone and tomorrow has so much more in store You are a bird, you're taking off in every way Save the last word till there is nothing more to say Don't interrupt, you know the squirrels are my friends Get off my limb, for I will break before I bend I'm planning to see I'm planning to feel you all over me So climb up my trunk and build on your nest Come get the sap out of me I am a tree Fruitless and free No symmetry Touch me and see I am a tree, counting my rings will do no good I won't live long, but I would be with you if I could When you take flight, remember me to one who lives there Since you have flown, there's something special in the air I'm planning to see I'm planning to feel you all over me So climb up my trunk and build on your nest Come get the sap out of me I am a tree Fruitless and free No symmetry Touch me and see I am a tree, yeah Fruitless and free, yeah No symmetry, yeah
