The Old Shade Tree Lyrics - Brad Mehldau

I hope none of you think I'm crying 

As the sweat rolls down my face. 

I hope none of you think I'm losing 

As I'm lapping the guy in last place. 

I hope one of you thanks me this winter 

For what some of you would hang me from now. 

Cause today the sun kissed a layer of skin from your nose. it's cause last night I chopped the old shade tree 

down 

I guess none of you thought of its roots 

As the living dead trapped underground 

Or of the blizzard above or the hero I'd be 

Planting bonfires all around town. 

So as the frost licks the layer of skin off the nose 

Of your neighbour, remember who chopped the old shade tree 

down
