SPARE ROOTS

I walked through a forest today
where the trees had a lot to say
had to watch my back
seemed they thought I'd lost my track

Many squeaking in discontent
of things that I never meant
I didn't come here to up-root
Only wanting to hide away
in my spacesuit
Wanting to hide away
not to pollute

I had to
I had to I had to cut loose

Walked through many lives today
I've been granted an extended stay
Some already complete
others abandoned in defeat

There was too much to say, and
my boots were already walking away
The feet had to follow
Cause - hers was growing roots
Deep into the ground
and I was nowhere to be found

I had to
I had to
I had to cut loose

Hey tree – have you got some spare roots for me?
Hey you tree – Hey you tree – Hey you tree

There is not much more to say
Only some (of you) are here to stay
Leave your roots behind and become that door
or decompose on the forest floor

Hey tree – have you got some spare roots for me?
Hey you tree - Please leave me yours when you go
