Other Brother Darryl - Watch The Trees Lyrics

I heard a heartbeat on the radio, just the other day
And it told me I was getting old, but maybe that's just age
And it spoke to me in many ways, it talked about my younger days
And I fell in love again

So spin the dial, mama won't you turn that song up loud
I'll watch the trees, you smoke your cigarettes

I remember when I heard he died, we were off to a friend's house
They played, watching the wheels, and I heard them both cry
I remember wishing there were trees, a summer breeze to comfort me
And I wondered why

So spin the dial, mama won't you turn that song up loud
I'll watch the trees, you smoke your cigarettes
So spin the dial, daddy won't you turn that song up loud
I'll watch the trees, you smoke your cigarettes

They say life is full of promises, some are borrowed, some you possess
Oh this life adrift, in the mess of this abyss
Do you remember when it was pure, would you recall when you were so sure
Or could you fall in love again

So spin the dial, mama won't you turn that song up loud
I'll watch the trees, you smoke your cigarettes
So spin the dial, daddy won't you turn that song up loud
I'll watch the trees, you smoke your cigarettes

Won't you turn it up loud
Turn it up loud

Sun through the trees
Turn it up loud
Sun through the trees
Turn it up loud
