Lyrics

[00:10.16] I took an air-rifle shot a magpie to the ground
[00:19.64] And it died without a sound
[00:27.94] Your skin so pale against the fallen autumn leaves
[00:37.27] And no one saw us but the trees
[00:44.34]
[00:46.22] Yeah, the trees, those useless trees
[00:52.20] Produce the air that I am breathing
[01:01.51] Yeah, the trees, those useless trees
[01:09.33] They never said that you were leaving
[01:19.83]
[01:20.12] I carved your name with a heart just up above
[01:28.95] Now swollen, distorted, unrecognisable like our love
[01:37.67] The smell of leaf mould the sweetness of decay
[01:46.57] Are the incense at the funeral procession here today
[01:52.46]
[01:54.36] Yeah, the trees, those useless trees
[02:01.60] Produce the air that I am breathing
[02:11.52] Yeah, the trees, those useless trees
[02:19.59] They never said that you were leaving
[02:25.51]
[02:30.23] You try to shape the world to what you want the world to be
[02:34.27] Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me
[02:46.68]
[02:47.82] Oh no, no I might as well go tell it to the trees
[02:49.67]
[03:46.79] Oh yeah, the trees, those useless trees
[03:54.24] Produce the air that I am breathing
[04:03.79] Yeah, the trees, those useless trees
[04:11.43] They never said that you were leaving
[04:20.29]
[04:20.58] Go tell it to the trees, yeah
[04:24.69] Go tell it to the trees, yeah
[04:28.96] Go tell it to the trees, yeah
[04:33.20] Go tell it to the trees, yeah
[04:37.65] Go tell it to the trees, yeah
