Barren Trees

 

Circa 1981?

Barren Trees

Oh dear isn't it enough

That you can see right through me,

Or do you want to strip me down

To barren trees?

-------------------

I'm down to less than ever

And you know I'm tied.

You love to watch me squirm,

But don't you wish for some mystery.

Don't you ever want to try?

'Cause I know you have me

Like you always wanted me.

-------------------

Oh dear isn't it enough

That you can see right through me,

Or do you want to strip me down

To barren trees?

--------------------

I gave you it all,

But that was my mistake.

You took the break,

And now I'm so bare,

Which hardly seems fair?

-------------------

Oh dear isn't it enough

That you can see right through me,

Or do you want to strip me down

To barren trees?
