The Giving Tree |
| All the leaves on the Giving Tree have fallen |
| No shade to crawl in underneath |
| I’ve got scars from a pocket knife |
| Where you carved your heart into me |
| If all you wanted was love |
| Why would you use me up |
| Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away |
| When all I wanted to be was your giving tree |
| Settle down, build a home, and make you happy |
| I lie in the dead of night and I wonder |
| Whose covers you’re between |
| And it’s sad laying in his bed |
| You feel hollow, so you crawl home back to me |
| If all you wanted was love |
| Why would you use me up |
| Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away |
| When all I wanted to be was your giving tree |
| Settle down, build a home, and make you happy |
| Well, I see a trail that starts |
| A line of broken hearts behind you |
| That lead you back to me |
| The once sad and lonely fool |
| With nothing left but roots to show, oh |
| If all you wanted was love |
| Why would you use me up |
| Cut me down, build a boat, and sail away |
| When all I wanted to be was your giving tree |
| Settle down, build a home, and make you happy |
