English trees in my garden
We planted seeds in a faraway land
In between the palms and the succulent groveThey 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 showEngland cries and she plays for him
The chords entwined like a requiem
And though its springtime and color is new
In Regents Park, I will mourn for youAnd I must be wise somehow
Cause my hearts been broken downIts so far to fall and so hard to climb
Nothings sadder, I know
Than the passing of timeWont forget me
You wont forget meEnglish trees in my garden
Summers missed you, my darling
Yeah, all your crimes are forgiven
Yeah, all your crimes are forgiven
And I must be wise somehowYou wont forget me
You wont forget me
And England criesTheres English trees in my garden
