Boys In The Trees Lyrics - Never Been Gone - Carly Simon

I'm home again in my old narrow bed 

Where I grew tall and my feet hung over the end 

The low beam room with the window looking out 

On the soft summer garden 

Where the boys grew in the trees 

Here I grew guilty 

And no one was at fault 

Frightened by the power in every innocent thought 

And the silent understanding passing down 

From daughter to daughter 

Let the boys grow in the trees 

Do you go to them or do you let them come to you? 

Do you stand in back afraid that you'll intrude? 

Deny yourself and hope someone will see 

And live like a flower 

While the boys grow in the trees

Last night I slept in sheets the color of fire 

Tonight I lie alone again and curse my own desire 

Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze 

And watch by the window 

Where the boys grew in the trees
