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 fallen snow
Up against the sky made a silhouette showEngland cries and she plays for him
The chords entwined like a requiem
Although it's springtime and color is new
In Regent's Park I will mourn for youAnd I must be wise somehow
'Cause my heart's been broken downIt's so far to fall
And so hard to climb
Nothing's sadder, I know
Than the passing of timeWon't forget me
You won't forget meEnglish trees in my garden
Summer's missed you, my darling
Yet all your crimes are forgiven
Yet all your crimes are forgiven
And I must be wise somehowAnd England cries, oh
There's English trees in my garden
