All in Rest - Sleepy Trees

Please, oh, please Though they're all deceased I beg of you on bended knee Please, oh, please Let them rest in please For once, they start, they never cease You see, here lies good old Fred A great big rock fell on his head And a peaceful rest lies brother Claude Planted here beneath this sod There's the first lady of opera, Haunting Harriet Searched for a tune but never could carry it Poor cousin Maude who never awoke The night her dreams went up in smoke Please, oh, please Though they're all deceased We must beware the spirits' release Rest in peace, cousin Huet We all know you didn't do it Mary wrote mysteries with masterful quill Not knowing the ink of words could kill So, please, oh, please Let them rest in peace Once they start, they never cease And right before your very eyes As the moon climbs high o'er the dead oak tree Spooks arrive for the midnight spree Creepy creeps with eerie eyes Start to shriek and harmonize Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize

It was the best that you could be for me I think we were lucky just to stay alive Even when you had only fire to breathe I know you were only trying to make it right Change everything I've ever known Try once again to let you go If you could go back now would you say it differently If there was no one there would you open up for me If this was the last time that we would ever speak Could we forgive somehow could we let it rest in peace Stories are lost somewhere behind your eyes You are a dying breed you stand alone I couldn't get through no matter how I tried You tore me apart but still I love you so Change everything I've ever known Try once again to let you go If you could go back now would you say it differently If there was no one there would you open up for me If this was the last time that we would ever speak Could we forgive somehow could we let it rest in peace If you could go back now would you say it differently If there was no one there would you open up for me If this was the last time that we would ever speak Could we forgive somehow could we let it rest in peace If you could go back now would you say it differently If there was no one there would you open up for me If this was the last time that we would ever speak Could we forgive somehow could we let it rest in peace

The trees are talking They talk behind our backs Cause we fell trees, We fell people Cause we fell trees, We fell people Cause when we fell, we fall Too many trees, too many trees, too many people There's been too many people And Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I I They see us Cause when we fell, we fall One by one Until there's none One by one Until there's none The trees are talking Less are growing old now Cause we fell trees, We fell people Cause we fell trees, We fell people The trees are placed on a tray, as are buildings of grey Less are growing old now Less are growing old now And Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I I They see us Cause when we fell, we fall One by one Until there's none One by one Until there's none Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I I Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I I Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I I Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I, Ooh I I I I

Hello, hello My baby wants to be a seagull Swimming in the ocean like before And then she tells me How she used to be a shadow Like it didn't matter anymore No one really knows me, so This is only between us If you can't go back to Where we'll leave it at Where we'll leave it at Don't! From Chinese trees To empty seas of black Empty seas of black coal I need you here My lonely heart attacks The lonely heart attacks my soul She shows me how to reach The great Moroccan skyline And my mind is open like a door And then she tells me That she's never been to China Like it didn't matter anymore No one really knows me, so This is only between us If you can't go back to Where we'll leave it at Where we'll leave it at Don't! From Chinese trees To empty seas of black Empty seas of black coal I need you here My lonely heart attacks The lonely heart attacks my soul No! No! No one knows me so No! No! No one... If you can't go back to Where we'll leave it at Where we'll leave it at Don't! From Chinese trees To empty seas of black Empty seas of black coal I need you here My lonely heart attacks The lonely heart attacks my soul No one really knows me, so This is only between us

I took an air rifle Shot a magpie to the ground And it died without a sound Your skin's so pale Against the fallen autumn leaves No-one saw us but the trees Yeah, the trees Those useless trees Produce the air That I am breathing Yeah, the trees Those useless trees They never said That you were leaving I carved your name With a heart just up above Now swollen, distorted Unrecognisable, like our love You smell of leaf mould And the sweetness of decay Or the incense at the funeral procession here today And the trees Those useless trees Produce the air That I am breathing Yeah, the trees Those useless trees They never said That you were leaving Ah Try to shape the world to what you want the world to be Carving your name a thousand times won't bring you back to me Oh, no, I might as well I might as well go tell it to the trees, yeah Oh yeah, the trees Those useless trees Produce the air That I am breathing Yeah, the trees Those useless trees They never said That you were leaving Go and tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah Go tell it to the trees, yeah
