Trees

What are you trying to cut out of me?
Violence is what you know, chainsaw teeth
I try to shade you, give nectar to drink
But you wanna strip all the bark
Off of the trunk of my tree

Honey, I'll never go back there again
No I, I, I'll never go back there again

Out to the field of stumps
Trees cut down and shipped out and bought
The forest lies empty and grey
The creatures have nowhere to stay

I wanna be a tree
Nurturing nests of green
Spreading open my leaves
To catch what rain the clouds may bring

Do you really need to cut me down
Just to print out a page of your frown?

Honey, I'll never be table legs again
I'll never be table legs again
No I, I, I'll never be table legs again
I'll never be table legs again

I wanna talk for days
And then wrestle and sway
Out in a big green meadow
Where we can share our shadows

I'll never be table legs again, no
I'll never be table legs again, no
I'll never be table legs again, no
I'll never be table legs again

Do you really need to cut me down
Just to print out a page of your frown?
