Prefab Sprout - Cherry Tree lyrics

The bird of prey meets the song of songs I can't speak Latin, I'm not called Virgil (I'm not called Virgil) I wipe cloud blossom, I don't say sorry (I don't say sorry) Opinions change like coats of paint We've come a long way unto Hawaii (unto Hawaii) I've bought my children an endless diary (an endless diary) Cher, cher, cherry tree Cher, cher, cherry tree Tell me liliac, where is blossom? Liliac, where has blossom gone? Did it happen I was sleeping And they move on Or is this compa**ion, I see Scared for my grasping decided to leave Cher, cher, cherry tree Cher, cher, cherry tree But I can't touch her, I'm not the gardener (I'm not the gardener) I can't touch her, I'm not the gardener (I'm not the gardener) Cher, cher, cherry tree Cher, cher, cherry tree
