Lyrics
Whirlwinds out throwing seeds
Blooms grow up from debris
Randomly and side by side
Seasons will fall and rise
We ask for no more than this
Soil so rich, to grow
With roots growing shoots
And limbs bearing leaves and fruit
It’s just you, you and me
The tallest of trees
Time, it will strip our leaves
No rhyme or reason here to grieve
Baby, it’s a simple fact
That all we lose can grow back, soon
If we want it to (if we want it to)
Yes, we’re stuck here I guess
What looks like a mess, are roots
It’s just you, you and me
The tallest of trees
An empty nest that used to sing
The eggs that hatched will miss the spring
Underneath the overcast
The dawn is slow, the dusk is fast
So the lightning will flash
And then comes the crash
But if they dig there they’ll find
That I’m still entwined, with you
It’s just you, you and me, the tallest of trees
