Looking out on forests painted green
We could barely see
From way up top the willow trees
Shaking branches, old familiar peace
Was only you and me
In our own worlds covered in green

In a world that's filled just with flowers
Can't you be my green?
Someday, someday
Can we just be the trees?

Flowers, they all wither
While trees, they stand up tall
Can our loving deliver
Even after it's lost?

In a world that's filled just with flowers
Can't you be my green?
Someday, someday
Can we just be the trees?

You're like my sanctuary
I need you to feel peace

In a world that's filled just with flowers
Can't you be my green?
Someday, someday
Can we just be the trees?

Let you rest inside the shade
As we waste the day away
Let you rest inside the shade
The shade, oh-oh
