English Trees Songtext
von Crowded House

English trees in my garden
They planted seeds in a faraway land
In between the palms and the succulent grow

They 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 show

England cries and she plays for him
Her chords entwined like a requiem
And though it′s springtime and color is new
In Regent's Park I will mourn for you

And I must be wise somehow
′Cause my heart's been broken down


It's so far to fall
And so hard to climb
Nothing sadder I know
Than the passing of time

You won′t forget me
You won′t forget me

English trees in my garden
Summer's missed you my darling
All your crimes are forgiven
Yeah, all your crimes are forgiven
And I must be wise somehow

You won′t forget me
You won't forget me
And England cries (England cries)

There′s English trees in my garden
