Evette Eleese

(verse)
In a tree with a view
I'd sit on my way home from school
From there I watched the seasons change
I liked to be alone at that age

On hill the tree stood alone
At its feet a carpet of brown
In the distance I saw the mountains grow
Shining on the lake below

(chorus)
I always felt like that old tree
Tall, alone, and ordinary
I could see things no-one else could see
In a tree with a view

(verse)
I shared happy times with my tree
My voiced echoed when I'd sing
It seemed like birds would sing along
Sailboats danced to my song

On the days when life went wrong
The branches held me 'cause they were strong
With my secrets way up high
I'd sit there, and cry

(bridge)
I really miss that tree now
And wonder if its still around
Wish I had a place where I could go....

(chorus)
I still feel like that old tree
Tall, alone, and ordinary
I can see things no-one else can see
Like the tree with a view
