This old man I've talked about

broke his own heart,

poured it in the ground

Big red tree grew up and out,

throws up its leaves,

spins round and round.

I know all this and more

So take your hat off

when you're talking to me

and be there when I feed the tree

This little squirrel I used to be

slammed her bike down the stairs

They put silver where her teeth had been

Baby silvertooth, she grins and grins

I know all this and more

So take your hat off boy

when you're talking to me

and be there when I feed the tree

Take your hat off boy

when you're talking to me

and be there when I feed the tree

This old man I used to be

spins around, around, around the tree

Silver baby come to me

I'll only hurt you in my dreams

I know all this and...

I know all this and...

I know all this and more

So take your hat off boy

when you're talking to me

and be there when I feed the tree

Take your hat off

when you're talking to me

and be there when I feed the tree
