If I Were A Tree Lyrics - Singles - Forest City Lovers

If I were a tree I'd shake you off 

Who needs all those dying leaves? 

Follow my roots to the underground 

Drink wine with all the thieves 

If I were a tree I'd give you wood 

Make you a dendrophiliac 

I'd have a laugh because I could 

Oh my knots and twists are not for that 

Uproot from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong 

In the winter when my limbs are so bare 

Uproot from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong 

In the winter when my limbs are so bare 

If I were a tree I would age so well, 

Oh I'd watch the years paint on your face 

Follow my roots to the underground 

Oh, watch you disappear without a trace (Tra-a-ace) 

Uproot from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong 

In the winter when my limbs are so bare 

Uproot from the ground and plant me somewhere I belong 

In the winter when my limbs are so bare 

In the winter when my limbs are so bare 

In the winter when my limbs are so bare.
