Tall Oak Tree Songtext
von Nicolas Falcon

I′m sure that right about
The time I've got life figured out
They′ll bring a stretcher in
To carry my wrinkled corpse down
And I don't expect you'll pay your respects
You might have better plans
Plus you can′t hurt a man
When he′s just scattered ashes in the sand
Smiles are waiting for me in a tall oak tree
But just before I start climbing
I hear a familiar voice saying it's your choice
But just so you know, I see lightning
How much time do you have left
Between 10 hours at a desk
And six hours of rest?
Enough to pretend it′s the weekend
And you can go spend what's left of your pay check
After they′ve all come to collect
Smiles are waiting for me in a tall oak tree But just before I start climbing
I hear a familiar voice saying it's your choice
But just so you know, I see lightning
Sometimes you′re quiet
And I ask what's on your mind
You say, "Nothing, why?"
But I think that's a lie
Sometimes you look at me as if something were wrong
What is it this time?
The entire song?
Smiles are waiting for me in a tall oak tree
But just before I start climbing
I hear a familiar voice saying it′s your choice
But just so you know, I see lightning
Smiles are waiting for me in a tall oak tree
But just before I start climbing
I hear a familiar voice saying it′s your choice
But just so you know, I see lightning
