Why'd you cut down our tree?
You knew what it meant to me
Now it can never be

And why do you sing so sweet,
With promises to complete,
And here I am at your feet?

And I know where you were last night
And I know everything
Will have to work out right

Summer takes its toll again,
So happy to find a friend,
But knew that it had to end

I wonder, did you send
The letters you wrote me when
We tried to make amends

And I know where you were last night
And I know everything
Will have to work out right

No more secrets after me
One way ticket to the sea
And we'd be there, so happy lying there right
In the shade under our tree

"Why'd you cut down our tree?",
That's what she said to me;
Now it can never be
