The Singing Tree

There are a million roots
Of the singing tree
And it has a million branches and each branch a million leaves
Rain falls in the river
River falls in the sea
The sea falls upside down into the singing tree
The singing tree is hidden
The singing tree is dark
The singing tree has castles hidden in its bark
The castle’s have no kings the castles have no queens
The people are all words there
Sung by the singing tree
Today I got a phonecall on my answering machine
It said «hello is Jeff there? This is the singing tree
You might be surprised I’m calling
You might be surprised I have a phone
But no one wants to be a pole
And I’m lonely like a tree now
And I don’t wanna fall in the woods
I wanna find a honeybee now
Take me all around the world
I wanna stop barking up the wrong tree
I wanna turn over a new leaf
I wanna go back to the country
I wanna find the singing tree
