English Trees - Crowded House

English trees in my garden

They planted seeds in a faraway land

In between the palms and the succulent grow

They lose their leaves in the winter

Mark the seasons for him and for her

Once upon a time in the fallen snow

Up against the sky made a silhouette show

England cries and she plays for him

Her chords entwined like a requiem

And though it’s springtime and color is new

In Regent’s Park I will mourn for you

And I must be wise somehow

'Cause my heart’s been broken down

It’s so far to fall

And so hard to climb

Nothing sadder I know

Than the passing of time

You won’t forget me

You won’t forget me

Like english trees in my garden

Summer’s missed you my darling

All your crimes are forgiven

All your crimes are forgiven

And I must be wise somehow

(You won’t forget me)

(You won’t forget me)

And England cries

There’s English trees in my garden
