Simple Tree - Blitzen Trapper

You were cool, slippin' out of your skin after school

Driftin' warm through the trees to the pool

And all the kids comin' out never knew just exactly the score

Baby where is the girl that I knew

Just before, fast asleep in her clothes on the floor

Back two birds with one stone in a storm

With your sweater on backwards and torn

There was nothin' to warn me, I slept like a lamb in the corn

'Cause I’m goin' like I’d break the speed of sound

Kickin' up the dust all around

Comin' like a cougar after me

Until you break down around these simple trees, tree

This is now, watchin' you and some curtains and clouds

If you could get up the nerve to relate

To the people with faces you hate

I’m gonna write you a song and explain everything that went wrong

'Cause I’m goin' like I’d break the speed of sound

Kickin' up the dust all around

Comin' like a cougar after me

Until you break down around these simple trees, tree
