Afternoon Out

Trees spiralling up from the ground

Bark covering all your surround

Spruce grey is the colour of you

With hints of green and ebony hue

Down in the darkness there's a world unknown

Drawing in life your roots do roam

Two centuries old I'd hazard a guess

That's your secret and I'll let it rest

Lingering on to the life that's near gone

Hanging on to a dream

Your work's been done

You've had your fun now leave

Lingering on to the life that's near gone

Hanging on to a dream

Your work's been done

You've had your fun now leave

Yonder over hill there's a stream, a brook

Lies the white house, I request it was took

Sparrows fly onto the ground

In this place they're safe and sound

Lingering on to the life that's near gone

Hanging on to a dream

Your work's been done

You've had your fun now leave

Lingering on to the life that's near gone

Hanging on to a dream

Your work's been done

You've had your fun now leave
