The Singing Tree

There are a million roots
Of the Singing Tree
And it has a million branches
And each branch a million leaves
Rain falls in the river
River falls in the sea
The sea falls upside down
In to the Singing Tree
The Singing Tree is hidden
The Singing Tree is dark
The Singing Tree has castles
Hidden in its bark
The castles have no Kings
The castles have no Queens
The people are all words there
Sung by the Singing Tree
Today I got a phone call
On my answering machine
It said, 'Hello is Jeff there?'
'This is the Singing Tree.'
'You might be surprised I'm calling,'
'You might be surprised I have a phone.'
'But no one wants to be a quiet tree in the woods falling,'
'Like a lonely telephone poll.'
'And I'm lonely like a tree now,'
'I don't want to fall in the woods.'
'I want to find a honeybee now,'
'Take me all around the world.'
'I want to stop barking up the wrong tree,'
'I want to turn over a new leaf.'
'I want to go back to the country,'
'I want to find the Singing Tree.'
