Tallest Tree

from A Few Songs About Flying by Stefan Fink

/

lyrics

dead leaves usher us away, the sun is out lets spend the day
from the city, from everything we've done before
you left back you cell phone, sometimes its good to be alone
and where we wound up we knew that we've never been before

well i wish i was the tallest tree, you'd climb my branches just to see
that blue, blue moon up in the sky and you never stop to wonder why

we forged the river by skipping stones, sometimes its good to be alone
we stare out against the world and we roll down the hill
theres a burnt out car i noticed that we passed
its funny how somethings never last
nothings forever no matter how hard we try
who needs a car when there are no roads?
who needs a house when you have a fort?
who needs a map when you have the stars?
who needs their rules when you have a heart?

well i wish i was the tallest tree, you'd climb my branches just to see
that blue, blue moon up in the sky and you never stop to wonder why

stars seem a little bit brighter each day and something beacons me to stay
the frost on my breath is keeping me awake
returning always seems a little faster than arriving,
ambition keeps us moving keeps us driving
and when we get home we'll lay to the warmth thats in our beds
i'll kiss you goodnight and lay down my head

well i wish i was the tallest tree, you'd climb my branches just to see
that blue, blue moon up in the sky and you never stop to wonder why
