Like Bonsai
Lyrics:Susan Werner/Greg Simon Music:Susan Werner
The lady at the greenhouse said That will be seven fifty please You drove us down the gravel roads I held it balanced on my knees You said we'd keep it inside So the branches wouldn't freeze
And I asked you what would happen If we just let it grow
And you said some trees are meant to reach You said Reach up for the sky Some trees we trim to keep them pretty Like bonsai
Winters and then summers and then I was seventeen We packed up my fall sweaters and all my possibilities And we cried the day you left me at the university 更多更详尽歌词 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔镜歌词网
And it was something I remembered As I watched you turn and go
That some trees are meant to reach -
And some trees we trim back Some hands we tie Some wings we clip Some feet we bind
Nineteen fourty-eight it was And you were twelve years old Dreaming about high school And you asked if you could go And your mother said Even very clever girls Are better off At home
