Tall Trees

Watch out big ships are waiting

Salt frozen on your cheek

I saw a girl and boy arriving

And a steamer put out to sea

Tall tree, stand in the distance

Remember when you were green

Don't wipe the salt from your skin

You must keep running the distance

Sun sleeps on misty morning

Light years from channel three

I feel halfway to zero

Call me a hero,

I might just agree

Tall tree, stand in the distance

Remember when you were green

Don't wipe the salt from your skin

You must keep running the distance

And the roses you grow

Have a powerful scent

They'll be breaking your heart

By the morning

I feel halfway to zero

Call me a hero,

I might just agree

Tall tree, stand in the distance

Remember when you were green

Don't wipe the salt from your skin

Tall tree, tall tree

Don't wipe the salt from your skin

You must keep running the distance

Tall tree
