This old man Ive talked about
Broke his own heart, poured it in the ground
Big red tree grew up and out
Throws up its leaves, spins round and round
I know all this and more
So take your hat off
When youre talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree
This little squirrel I used to be
Slammed her bike down the stairs
They put silver where her teeth had been
Baby silver tooth, she grins and grins
I know all this and more
So take your hat off, boy
When youre talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree
Take your hat off, boy
When youre talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree
This old man I used to be
Spins around, around, around the tree
Silver baby, come to me
Ill only hurt you in my dreams
I know all this and
I know all this and
I know all this and more
So take your hat off, boy
When youre talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree
Take your hat off
When youre talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree
