The Tree Knows Everything

Looking back on the memories

And the way we used to live

I remember that old sign to london

By the river 'cross from the bridge

At seven the bell used to ring

From up on the hill

We've moved on from yesterday

Time back then stood still

Call to the children come in

They'd hide and relentlessly sin

The baby that cried

Would be masked by the wind

And you'd open your arms

And hold me close in

And we thought and we thought

With our love and own piece of mind

And we fought and we fought

We didn't understand

But the tree wasn't blind

Movin' on from yesterday

Let it pass you by

But the tree knows everything

Movin' on from yesterday

Gonna let you go n' pass you by

But the tree knows everything

Knows everything

Looking back on the memories

And the way we used to live

I remember that old sign to london

By the river 'cross from the bridge

At seven the lights would go out

Down at the mill

We've moved on from yesterday

Time back then stood still

Call to the children come in

They'd hide and relentlessly sin

That baby that cried

Would be masked

By the wind

And you'd open your arms

And hold me close in

And we thought and we thought

With our love and own piece of mind

And we fought and we fought

We didn't understand

But the tree wasn't blind

Movin' on from yesterday

Let it pass you by

But the tree knows everything

Movin' on from yesterday

Gonna let you go n' pass you by

But the tree knows everything

Knows everything

And we thought and we thought

And we fought and we fought

And we thought and we thought

And we fought and we fought

We've moved on from yesterday

But the tree wasn't blind
