The Tree Knows Everything

Looking back on the memories
And the way we used to live
I remember that old sign to london
By the river 'cross from the bridge
At seven the bell used to ring
From up on the hill
We've moved on from yesterday
Time back then stood still
Call to the children come in
They'd hide and relentlessly sin
The baby that cried,
Would be masked by the wind
And you'd open your arms
And hold me close in
And we thought and we thought
With our love and own piece of mind
And we fought and we fought.
We didn't understand,
But the tree wasn't blind

(chorus)
Movin' on from yesterday
Let it pass you by
But the tree knows everything
Movin' on from yesterday
Gonna let you go n'pass you by
But the tree knows everything
Knows everything

(verse two)
Looking back on the memories
And the way we used to live
I remember that old sign to london
By the river 'cross from the bridge
At seven the lights would go out,
Down at the mill
We've moved on from yesterday
Time back then stood still
Call to the children come in
They'd hide and relentlessly sin
That baby that cried,
Would be masked
By the wind
And you'd open your arms
And hold me close in
And we thought and we thought
With our love and own piece of mind
And we fought and we fought
We didn't understand
But the tree wasn't blind
