The Bird Is in the Tree - Jonesey

There's a thorn tree in the garden, if you know just what I mean And I hate to hurt your feelings but it's not the way it seems 'Cause I miss her She's the only girl I've cared for, the only one I've known And no one ever shared more love than we've known And I miss her But it all seems so strange to see 'Cause she'd never turn her back on me And leave without a last goodbye And if she winds up walking the streets Loving every other man she meets Who'll be the one to answer why Lord, I hope it's not me, it's not me And if I never see her face again, I never hold her hand And if she's in somebody's arms, I know I'll understand But I miss that girl I still miss that girl Maybe someday soon, somewhere

When the love in your eyes I could see When the voice that I heard, like the song of the bird Seemed to whisper sweet music to me I could hear the dull buzz of the bee In the blossoms as you said to me With a heart that is true, I'll be waiting for you In the shade of old apple tree (Apple tree) When the love in your eyes I could see (I could see) Mama, when the voice that I heard, like the song of the bird Seemed to whisper sweet music to me (Music to me) I could hear the dull buzz of the bee (Buzz of the bee) In the blossoms as you said to me (Said to me) Mama, with a heart that is true, I'll be waiting for you Yes, shade of the old apple tree (Scat)

Staring at the ceiling wishing I could be there dancing with you Tripping over my shoes just to get back to you Try to catch my breath but I can't slow down I gotta get to you I gotta get to you Take me by the hand back to your place Show me how to dance and we'll embrace Take me by the hand back to your place Show me how to dance Dancing slow While my heart beats fast Should I tell you how I've escaped my past Take me by the hand back to your place Show me how to dance and we'll embrace Take me by the hand back to your place Show me how to dance Staring at the ceiling wishing I could be there dancing with you (Ah-ah) (Ah-ah) (Ah-ah) Hold me close with your hand in mine Let me be the one that you keep in mind When you're laying there staring at the ceiling And you need someone too Take me by the hand back to your place Show me how to dance and we'll embrace Take me by the hand back to your place Show me how to dance Staring at the ceiling wishing I could be there dancing with you Tripping over my shoes just to get back to you Staring at the ceiling wishing I could be there dancing with you Tripping over my shoes just to get back to you

If it's alright will you keep me in your arms I can't stop myself from thinking you're alarmed You can stay right here no need to think this time Why am I holding back afraid of falling hard (Whoa-Oh-Oh) (La-La-La-La) (Oh-Oh) (La-La-La-La) If it's alright will you keep me in your arms I can't stop myself from thinking about harm You can stay right here no need to think this time Why am I holding back afraid of falling hard (Whoa-Oh-Oh) (La-La-La-La) (Oh-Oh)
