Jeffrey Lewis - The Singing Tree lyrics

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 into the singing tree the singing tree is hidden the singing tree is dark the singing tree has castles hidden in its bark the castle's have no kings the castles have no queens the people are all words there sung by the singing tree today I got a phonecall 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 pole. and I'm lonely like a tree now and I don't wanna fall in the woods I wanna find a honeybee now take me all around the world I wanna stop barking up the wrong tree I wanna turn over a new leaf I wanna go back to the country I wanna find the singing tree.
