Bend the Trees - Holy Monitor

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

Nos hablamos, pero no Sabemos si será Volcados en la ilusión Me voy en un segundo Hoy necesito estar sentado desde aquí Y los dos llegamos tarde para decirnos que Y, aunque eres invisible, veo a través de ti Y, siendo intocable, yo te siento en mis sueños Y me lamento por no estar allá Y hoy te miento para estar solos, tú y yo Y la distancia le ganó al amor Solo te veo en el monitor (Oh-uoh, oh-uoh, oh-oh-oh) Esperando respuesta, veo que hoy Tu ausencia llega nada más Las cosas deben de seguir Y no sabemos si será Hoy necesito estar sentado desde aquí Y los dos llegamos tarde para decirnos que Y, aunque eres invisible, veo a través de ti Y, siendo intocable, yo te siento en mis sueños Y me lamento por no estar allá Y hoy te miento para estar solos, tú y yo Y la distancia le ganó al amor Solo te veo en el monitor (Oh-uoh, oh-uoh, oh-oh-oh) Y me lamento por no estar allá Y hoy te miento para estar solos, tú y yo (Solo tú y yo) Y la distancia le ganó al amor Solo te veo en el monitor (Oh-uoh, oh-uoh, oh-oh-oh) (Solo tú y yo)
