Just Above Trees - Marie Noelle Slonina

Hello, hello My baby wants to be a seagull Swimming in the ocean like before And then she tells me How she used to be a shadow Like it didn't matter anymore No one really knows me, so This is only between us If you can't go back to Where we'll leave it at Where we'll leave it at Don't! From Chinese trees To empty seas of black Empty seas of black coal I need you here My lonely heart attacks The lonely heart attacks my soul She shows me how to reach The great Moroccan skyline And my mind is open like a door And then she tells me That she's never been to China Like it didn't matter anymore No one really knows me, so This is only between us If you can't go back to Where we'll leave it at Where we'll leave it at Don't! From Chinese trees To empty seas of black Empty seas of black coal I need you here My lonely heart attacks The lonely heart attacks my soul No! No! No one knows me so No! No! No one... If you can't go back to Where we'll leave it at Where we'll leave it at Don't! From Chinese trees To empty seas of black Empty seas of black coal I need you here My lonely heart attacks The lonely heart attacks my soul No one really knows me, so This is only between us

I took an air rifle Shot a magpie to the ground And it died without a sound Your skin's so pale Against the fallen autumn leaves No-one saw us but the trees Yeah, the trees Those useless trees Produce the air That I am breathing Yeah, the trees Those useless trees They never said That you were leaving I carved your name With a heart just up above Now swollen, distorted Unrecognisable, like our love You smell of leaf mould And the sweetness of decay Or the incense at the funeral procession here today And the trees Those useless trees Produce the air That I am breathing Yeah, the trees Those useless trees They never said That you were leaving Ah Try to shape the world to what you want the world to be Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me Oh, no, I might as well I might as well go tell it to the trees, yeah Oh yeah, the trees Those useless trees Produce the air That I am breathing Yeah, the trees Those useless trees They never said That you were leaving Go and tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah

The trees are talking They talk behind our backs Cause we fell trees, We fell people Cause we fell trees, We fell people Cause when we fell, we fall Too many trees, too many trees, too many people There's been too many people And Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I I They see us Cause when we fell, we fall One by one Until there's none One by one Until there's none The trees are talking Less are growing old now Cause we fell trees, We fell people Cause we fell trees, We fell people The trees are placed on a tray, as are buildings of grey Less are growing old now Less are growing old now And Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I I They see us Cause when we fell, we fall One by one Until there's none One by one Until there's none Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I I Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I I Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I I Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I I
