The Cottonwood Tree
Tea Leaf Green

There is so often

There is feel in the atmosphere

Just a reminder

We were all children once


Even when you can’t stand to look

It is impossible to miss

We once played there

By the swings and the rusty chairs

Why do we have to grow up?

I can still see us play

Back in the shade

Of the cottonwood tree

In the summer back home in LA


We are a waterfall

And we crash below

But eventually

We flow to sea


Sand would fill our shoes


And we wouldn’t bother

Instead we would let it slip

From one toe over the other

And the pavement would scrape

When we fell to our knees

And the blood formed a line

It looked just like limbs on a tree

Why do we have to grow up

I can still see us play


Back in the shade

Of the cottonwood tree

In the summer back home in LA


We are a waterfall

We crash below

But eventually we flow to sea
