I took an air-rifle shot a magpie to the ground And it died without a sound Your skin so pale against the fallen autumn leaves And no one saw us but the trees
Yeah, the trees, those useless trees Produce the air that I am breathing Yeah, the trees, those useless trees They never said that you were leaving
I carved your name with a heart just up above Now swollen, distorted, unrecognisable like our love The smell of leaf mould the sweetness of decay Are the incense at the funeral procession here today
Yeah, the trees, those useless trees Produce the air that I am breathing Yeah, the trees, those useless trees They never said that you were leaving
You try to shape the world to what you want the world to be Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me
Oh no, no I might as well go tell it to the trees
Oh yeah, the trees, those useless trees Produce the air that I am breathing Yeah, the trees, those useless trees They never said that you were leaving
Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah
