Lyrics
Cherry Tree
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The bird of prey meets the song of songs
I can't speak Latin, I'm not called Virgil (I'm not called Virgil)
I wipe cloud blossom, I don't say sorry (I don't say sorry)
Opinions change like coats of paint
We've come a long way unto Hawaii (unto Hawaii)
I've bought my children an endless diary (an endless diary)
Cher, cher, cherry tree
Cher, cher, cherry tree
Tell me liliac, where is blossom?
Liliac, where has blossom gone?
Did it happen I was sleeping
And they move on
Or is this compassion, I see
Scared for my grasping decided to leave
Cher, cher, cherry tree
Cher, cher, cherry tree
But I can't touch her, I'm not the gardener (I'm not the gardener)
I can't touch her, I'm not the gardener (I'm not the gardener)
Cher, cher, cherry tree
Cher, cher, cherry tree
