Cherry Tree Songtext
von Mara & David

There was a time
When the top of the cherry tree
Was my favorite place in the whole world to be
I used to sit there for hours
Looking for castles in the clouds
One arm wrapped around the trunk
The taste of summer in my mouth

The man on the radio
Sounds so excited when they talk about the war
"It′s far away, far away, far away", they say
But there's a fight in our kitchen
Porcelain is crashing to the floor
Then somebody slams the door


Airplanes roaring
Over my head
Painting fences on the sky
It′s getting dark
It's almost time for bed
Tonight I dream
I dream that I could fly

"Don't you worry", mama says
"It will be over soon
Don′t stay out too late, my love"
So I resumed my post
On the cherry tree
Watching the world from above

Airplanes roaring
Over my head
Painting fences on the sky
Oh, it′s getting dark
It's almost time for bed
Tonight I dream
I dream that I could fly
