Crowded House - English Trees

English trees in my garden
They planted seeds in a faraway land
In between the palms and the succulent grow

They lose their leaves in the winter
Mark the seasons for him and for her
Once upon a time in the fallen snow
Up against the sky made a silhouette show

England cries and she plays for him
Her chords entwined like a requiem
And though it's springtime and color is new
In Regent's Park I will mourn for you

And I must be wise somehow
'Cause my heart's been broken down

It's so far to fall
And so hard to climb
Nothing sadder I know
Than the passing of time

You won't forget me
You won't forget me

Like english trees in my garden
Summer's missed you my darling
All your crimes are forgiven
All your crimes are forgiven

And I must be wise somehow

(You won't forget me)
(You won't forget me)

And England cries

There's English trees in my garden
