I Am a Tree Lyrics

I am a tree - I show my age when I don't cry
I have the leaves that will fall off when wind blows by
Don't strip off my bark - I have been stripped of it before
Yesterday's gone and tomorrow has so much more in storeYou are a bird - you're taking off in every way
Say the last word until there is nothing more to sayDon't interrupt - you know the squirrels are my friends
Get off my limb - for I will break before I bendI'm planning to see
I'm planning to feel you all over me
So climb up my trunk and build on your nest
Come and get the sap out if me
I am a tree!
Fruitless and free!
No symmetry!
Touch me and see!
