lyrics

On the branch, at the top
Of the tree with the swing,
In the woods, on the street by the school,
Where we meet….

I will sit and I’ll wait,
’Cause they said they would come
After class is let out.
And we’re friends (and we’re friends),
There’s no doubt.

And we meet every day,
And we climb all the way
To the top of the tree if we can,
Just to see … if we can.

And the tree is so tall
As I look all around,
I could sway in the breeze alone
Amidst all this
Brown and green.

boy in the tree his friends

Where can they be? Where can they be?
Oh, how can they be…. There’s just us three.
Why should I … (Not even two to a team….) There’s just us!
When they should How can they be …
Be here with me? When they should be here?
(When they should be here!) (When they should be here!)

Now the sun’s going down,
As I sit on the branch
At the top of the tree with the swing,
Out here, still in the woods.

On the street, by the school
Where we meet every day
After class is let out.
And we’re still friends.
No, there’s no doubt.
