If I were a tree I'd shake you off Who needs all those dying leaves? Follow my roots to the underground Drink wine with all the thieves If I were a tree I'd give you wood Make you a dendrophiliac I'd have a laugh because I could Oh my knots and twists are not for that Uproot from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong In the winter when my limbs are so bare Uproot from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong In the winter when my limbs are so bare If I were a tree I would age so well, Oh I'd watch the years paint on your face Follow my roots to the underground Oh, watch you disappear without a trace (Tra-a-ace) Uproot from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong In the winter when my limbs are so bare Uproot from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong In the winter when my limbs are so bare In the winter when my limbs are so bare In the winter when my limbs are so bare.
