Trees Fall Everyday (Live) Lyrics

Charlie Sargent all old and defeated

Poured everything he owned into an army sack

A wardrobe, piano, and a building in a snow globe

And the rest of fifty years strung across his back

He said nobody loves you when you're under water

No one remembers once you're buried in the ground

Trees fall everyday

Charlie's mother told him don't trust nobody Charlie

So he seldom had a friend and he never took a bride

Did love a woman once but she was married to a lamp post

And Charlie knew he'd never be so strong or bright

She said nobody speaks of you when you leave the table

No one remembers once you're buried in the ground

Trees fall everyday

Poor Charlie, you could've been a preachers

At least preachers have Jesus and tithes and wine

You never did learn to play that piano

And you only ever saw that building once in your life

The whole world's screaming when you read your fable

If nobody's listening did we even make a sound?

Trees fall everyday

Nobody speaks of you when you leave the table

No one remembers once you're buried in the ground

Trees fall everyday
