A Tree on Fire from Within

Well, there's a story I would like to tell But I don't know where to begin Well, it's pretty on the surface But it doesn't have an end Like a tree on fire from within I called up Mary to see how she's been She said she's never really had a friend Sure there's many folks around me But nobody truly found me Like a tree on fire from within And Holy Moses can ring a bell Doesn't matter if it's golden or tin The news inside it means so much Even if it turns to dust Like a tree on firе from within And violet roses give such a scеnt And it doesn't matter how long it's been Even a dead rose is a good rose You only have to see one to know Like a tree on fire from within
