lyrics

I grew a tree where my secret heart
Had roots from longing deep and strong
Its trunk was hope which gave life into
Branches and leaves which every night held birds with songs of tender love.
And how I welcomed their voices
and how I sang out their words… but no fruit grew and Summer leaves turned red, and then brown,
and slowly fell down.
Until every day was Autumn,
and she was long gone...
Don’t plant trees alone
Wait until her love is shown.

All the lights have gone green
on my Happy Avenue
I can hear children sing as the sky turns blue.
Call this the test of time: you learn to too late
And there’s no rewinding… no rewind.

Every song has a voice that is waiting for a tune
Every tune has a dream that it comes out true
So raise your voice and sing
And cry for love in everything

Oh Judy (and your kind) I called you love1,000 times
But boys who dream alone make their ghosts at home
With each love lost song

There’s a hole in the sky that is
deep and dark & wild
It’s got a pull like the heart of a love-lost child
Don’t wish upon that star
But cry for love with all you are.

Yeah Judy, I’m alive,
I got broken down 1,000 times
Got strong inside these bones
Stopped choking and got moving on
Standing strong…
choose this song
When I’m dead and gone.
