Not Even The Trees

Hootie

Alone as I sit and watch the trees


Won't you tell me if I scream will they bend down and listen to me


And it makes me wonder if I know the words will you come


Or will you laugh at me


Or will I run





Little boy says to me,


"Where you goin' now son"


I said, "I don't know where I'm goin' boy


I only know where I'm from"


And it makes me wonder


If the stars shine when my eyes close


Or does my brothers heart cry


I don't know





I'm a stranger in my home


Now that everybody's gone


Someone please talk to me


Cause I feel you cry


And you're sitting with him


And I know I'll never see you again





Lying down in Charleston under the Carolina sky


You see I'm tired of feeling this pain


I'm tired of living my own little lie


And it makes me wonder


When I see you in my dreams


Does it mean anything


Are you trying to talk to me





I'm a stranger in my home


Tell me are you feeling alone


Someone tell me what to do


'Cause I'm feeling strong


And I wonder how you feel


Do you realize my pain is for real


I see you in my dreams


And I wonder if you're looking down at me


And smiling right now


I wanna know if it's true


When he looks at me


Won't you tell me


Does he realize he came down here


And he took you too soon





And now my days are short an my nights are long


I lay down with memories of you keep that keep me going on, going on


It makes me wonder as I sit and stare


Will I see your face again


Tell me, do you care


I'm a stranger in my home


Living life on my own


Right now I just can't see


'Cause i'm feeling weak


And my sould begins to bleed


And no one is listening to me, not even the trees
