Don't Climb the Tree

By Aneirin Menelaos

There's a girl in this town
She's layin out her heart
She's not the kind to take you down
She's playin it smart

when you hear her singin,
you'll know your part
It'll pull you up fr'm th' depths
It'll clear away the dark
A voice green as the leaves
eyes blue as the sky


Don't climb the tree
if you wont learn to fly
Don't cross the river
if you can't swim a mile
All your life
You were on your own

But you're here now
Welcome home

Don't climb the tree
if you wont learn to fly
Don't cross the river
if you can't swim the tide


If you want you can ease my pain
And soon forget the reason that you're leaving
You'll lose yourself aint it a shame
Maybe even save yourself some grievin'

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Don't climb the tree, if you wont learn to fly
Don't try denyin' that yer aimin' for the sky
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side
Don't climb the tree, if you wont learn to fly
Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide
