Paroles de Cottonwoods

I can still hear them rustle I can still see their light The way that they could catch the wind blow Makes me still wonder why You couldn’t see them like a family Maybe sisters standing tall Yet they would carry me through summer As I swung all day long Oh where oh where did you go I was just passing by to say hello Does this man know what he’s done For the ease of a fall without some snow I thought they were so ancient When I was just a child Jokes on me cause they were children Still waiting to grow tall All those years alone not really There were friends standing by You can say they didn’t feel it But I cried when they died Oh where oh where did you go I was just passing by to say hello Does this man know what he’s done For the ease of a life lived for one
