Cherry Tree Songtext
von Faey

Up into the cherry tree
Who should climb but little me
I held the trunk with both my hands
And looked abroad in foreign lands
I saw the next door garden lie
Adorned with flowers before my eye
And many pleasant places more
That I had never seen before

If I′d find a higher tree
Farther, farther I should see
To where the grownup river slips
Into the sea among the ships
If I'd find a higher tree
Farther, farther I should see
To where the grownup river slips
Into the sea among the ships


I saw the dampling river pass
And be the sky′s blue looking glass
Where dusty roads go up and down
With people tramping into town
To where the roads on either hand
Lead onward into fairy land
Where all the children die not five
And all the playthings come alive

If I'd find a higher tree
Farther, farther I should see
To where the grownup river slips
Into the sea among the ships
If I'd find a higher tree
Farther, farther I should see
To where the grownup river slips
Into the sea among the ships

Up into the cherry tree
Who should climb but little me
I held the trunk with both my hands
And looked abroad in foreign lands

If I′d find a higher tree
Farther, farther I should see
To where the grownup river slips
Into the sea among the ships


If I′d find a higher tree
Farther, farther I should see
To where the grownup river slips
Into the sea among the ships
