I Don't Ask Trees Songtext
von Maya de Vitry

When I see you fly so free and far
For me he said, it′s just too hard
How I cried that night when I clipped my wings
So he could be there when I sing
I was a dreamer, I was a girl
Oh the ways we try to love in this world
I got as small as he asked me to
Like it was what I had to do
I don't ask trees why they need so much time to grow
I don′t ask hearts why they need so much time to know


Well I hid my tears, I did my best
Didn't know I got that lost I guess
In all those years there was no home
Like flying on the air alone
I didn't tell you when I knew I could
I didn′t leave him when I knew I should
When the sky was copper and full of birds
I heard their song and I knew the words
I don′t ask trees why they need so much time to grow
I don't ask hearts why they need so much time to know
