Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When she drops in town a little handkerchief
He picks it up for her
Although he's not a prince of charm
Now she stands upon his shoulders
And looks across the garden
And see the oak behind the farm
[Verse 2]
I'm up here in the wavin' tree
I feel my mother looks at me
She is livin' near to the bone
[Verse 3]
There were times when she was so beautiful
She's dancin' with my uncles
Her hair was darker than this house
Although it's true that she was proud of him
Standin' on his shoulders
She saw the lights of other towns
[Verse 4]
On Friday night she took the train
On Sunday she is back again
Bringin' home stories near the bone
[Verse 5]
Boy in a tree
Boy in a tree
Boy in a tree
He's been lookin' round and round
(Round and round)
[Verse 6]
The mirror shows another day
She's forty years or older
Her hair will fade black to gray
She drives and drives through the night
A parrot on her shoulder
Until the darkness goes away
[Verse 7]
She's standin' there, the wavin' tree
Lookin' up, she talks to me
All I hear is the wind in the leaves
[Verse 8]
Boy in a tree
Boy in a tree
Boy in a tree
He's been lookin' round and round
(Round and round)
Boy in a tree
Boy in a tree
He's been lookin' round and round
(Round and round)
Boy in a tree
[Verse 9]
In a time when she was beautiful
She's dancin' on his shoulder
[Verse 10]
In a tree
Boy in a tree
Boy in a tree
Boy in a tree
Tree
