《A Tree》歌词

[00:00:00] A Tree - Murray Head

[00:00:05] Lyricist：Murray Head

[00:00:10] Composer：Murray Head

[00:00:15] Once upon a time

[00:00:17] He was a fearless

[00:00:19] Tree

[00:00:23] So young and yet so wise

[00:00:27] They had to cut him down to size

[00:00:37] A passing girl took out a knife

[00:00:40] And carved her name

[00:00:46] She couldn't stop she wanted more

[00:00:49] As chip by chip dropped to the floor

[00:00:55] She saw

[00:00:58] A sculpture

[00:01:02] An outlet

[00:01:05] For culture

[00:01:09] And by degrees

[00:01:12] As time went by

[00:01:16] He felt his sap

[00:01:19] Run dry

[00:01:52] When finished carving

[00:01:53] She would polish him at home

[00:02:00] He was dusted down at weekends

[00:02:04] But mostly spent his time alone

[00:02:14] One day a burglar

[00:02:16] Stole her statue from the shelf

[00:02:23] She missed it in the morning

[00:02:27] Took the blame upon herself

[00:02:32] She'd got what

[00:02:36] She wanted

[00:02:39] He'd been taken

[00:02:43] For granted

[00:02:46] From a tree to

[00:02:50] A sculpture

[00:02:53] She'd grown over

[00:02:57] Familiar

[00:03:01] You don't realise

[00:03:04] Just what you've got

[00:03:07] Till it's gone and lost

[00:03:11] Forever
