And if you oblige me and sit here beside me
Even my tears have all dried
I hope that I didn't offend you before
Little boys scraping knees
Can I sit by your side?
If you oblige me and sit here beside me
Can I sit by your side?
That you might not know, please don't go
You are my friend but I wanted much more
I'll tell you a story, a beautiful story
Just like always before
Little boys scrapin' knees
Watching birds, chasing bees
Pardon me, Mister Tree
Don't misunderstand me
I'll tell you a story, a beautiful story
Talking to trees, watching the flowers grow
I'm just an old man with no place to go
Even my tears have all dried
I'm just an old man with no place to go
Don't misunderstand me
Now I'm back once again
It's just that I'm tired of wasting my hours
Watchin' birds chasin' bees
