Not Even The Trees

Not Even The Trees

Alone as I sit and watch the trees

Won't you tell me if I scream will they bend down and listen to me

And it makes me wonder if I know the words will you come

Or will you laugh at me

Or will I run

I said, "I don't know where I'm goin'

I only know where I'm from"

And it makes me wonder

If the stars shine when my eyes close

Or does my lovers heart cry

I don't know

I'm a stranger in my home

Now that everybody's gone

Someone please talk to me

Cause I feel you cry

And you're sitting with Him

And I wonder if I'll ever see you again

Lying down in Washington under the northwest sky

You see I'm tired of feeling this pain

I'm tired of living my own little lie

And it makes me wonder

When I see you in my dreams

Does it mean anything

Are you trying to talk to me

I'm a stranger in my home

Tell me are you feeling alone

Someone tell me what to do

'Cause I'm not feeling strong

And I wonder how you feel

Do you realize my pain is for real

I see you in my dreams

And I wonder if you're looking down at me

And smiling right now

I wanna know if it's true

When He looks at me

Won't you tell me

Does He realize He came down here

And He took you too soon

And now my days are short an my nights are long

I lay down with memories of you keep that keep me going on, going on

It makes me wonder as I sit and stare

Will I see your face again

Tell me, do you care

I'm a stranger in my home

Living life on my own

Right now I just can't see

'Cause i'm feeling weak

And my soul begins to bleed

And no one is listening to me, not even the trees
