An Envious Tree – Phil Headway Letra

Once upon a time in a sleepy bay

There was a very envious tree

That was getting further and further away

Though she's never left the place

She bowed so low to the God of sand

That she bended to the ground

Got stuck so bad in the Cursed Land

Even her branches grew down

An envious tree

She has no eyes to see

An envious tree

Her soul about to bleed

An envious tree

The pride has lost to greed

An envious tree

From drama to comedy

She creates even more roots

Getting caged in her thoughts

There's no reason to wear boots

She's writing her own thriller plot

I know she doesn't fear the storm

‘Cause she's already on the ground

A bird has landed on her crooked trunk

But it went unnoticed, she was drunk

An envious tree

She has no eyes to see

An envious tree

Her soul about to bleed

An envious tree

The pride has lost to greed

An envious tree

From drama to comedy

But one day

In a short moment of sobriety

The tree asked General Sherman why she couldn't see the Sun

Her pal said: That's a no-brainer, you were raised in the shadow of others

So, with great effort, the poor tree uttered the following words

To grow and breathe is hard to me

Where is your mercy?

Try to understand

Try to understand

Have a little mercy

Try to understand

Try to understand
