Crowded House English Trees Lyrics

English Trees Lyrics

English trees in my garden

We planted seeds in a faraway land

In between the palms and the succulent grove



They lose their leaves in the winter

Mark the seasons for him and for her

Once upon a time in the falling snow

Up against the sky, made a silhouette show



England cries and she plays for him

The chords entwined like a requiem

And though it's springtime and color is new

In Regent's Park, I will mourn for you



And I must be wise somehow

'Cause my heart's been broken down



It's so far to fall and so hard to climb

Nothing's sadder, I know

Than the passing of time



Won't forget me

You won't forget me



English trees in my garden

Summers missed you, my darling

Yeah, all your crimes are forgiven

Yeah, all your crimes are forgiven

And I must be wise somehow



You won't forget me

You won't forget me

And England cries



There's English trees in my garden
