Paroles de Swingtree

(rostam) if i was a boy at sea
I would be swinging from a broken tree
I would be down on my back looking up at stars at night
And if i could get back to reach to reach the saltiest of evergreens
You know that i would turn back just to fight the whites of iron eyes

When i hear that wind and i think of spring
Underneath an open window a carved out sign and
Often i would fight with my mind

(wes) saltwater brine where you hung your crown
When you washed your eyes in last night's tea
I thought you might come out from the dream to find that

(rostam) underneath the pine grew a patch of thyme
That i burned for six days in the sun
'til i heard the distant sound of drums

(wes) oh the queen had come and the king had died
And my forehead burned but i closed my eyes
And my forehead burned but i closed my eyes

((rostam) before i go i've got to run, down the street to the market cove where i could
Find six seeds to bring back to the yard and plant underneath the birch tree
No white skies or red sunlight
In the saltwater brine
My forehead burned but i closed my eyes)

Whoa. now you've got to go.

If i was a boy...
