Look at that Lonely Tree Lyrics

Long lost baby, look at that lonely tree

Standing out there all alone

Looking just like me

Them branches have gone drooping

Hanging all those leaves

There is no warmth in the sunshine

That the tree receives

That tree is all alone

In a field that's overgrown

With grass and bugs

And weeds and slugs

But not another tree

No, not another tree

Long lost baby, look at that lonely tree

Standing there the way I did

When you ran away from me

The weeds and grass around that tree

Don't pay the ground no rent

The sky's free too and if birds would come

They'd be heaven sent

That tree is all alone

In a field that's overgrown

With grass and bugs

And weeds and slugs

But not another tree

No, not another tree

Long lost baby, look at that lonely tree

Without a single sapling it can call a family

You left me standing like that tree

On our wedding day

I'm standing here still wondering

Why you ran away

That tree is all alone

In a field that's overgrown

With grass and bugs

And weeds and slugs

But not another tree

No, not another tree
