Birch Tree Songtext
von Foals

The city I was born in
I left a long time ago
We lost touch
Grew apart, my friend

My heart′s an old pole dancer
Troubled romancer, you know?
It's a subway chancer
A question with no answer

Come meet me by the river
See how time, it flows
I′ll meet you by the river
See how time, it flows

And when we age
Shed our skin and grow
We shed our layers
Spread our wings and go


My heart's an old black panther
Corrupted financer, you know
It's a troubled romancer
A question with no answer

Come meet me by the river
See how time, it flows
I′ll meet you by the river
See how time, it flows
Come meet me by the river
See how time, it flows
I′ll meet you by the river
See how time, it flows

Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh (Yeah)
Oooh, oooh (Yeah)
Oooh, oooh
Oh, now the river runs away but I chase it (Yeah)
Time holds no fear when I turn round and face it (Yeah)
Oh, now the river runs away when I chase it (Yeah)
Time holds no fear when I turn round and face it (Yeah)


Come meet me by the river
See how time, it flows
I'll meet you by the river
See how time, it flows

Oh, now the river runs away but I chase it
Time holds no fear when I turn round and face it
Oh, now the river runs away when I chase it
Time holds no fear when I turn round and face it
