Tree of Love

[Verse 1]
The tree of love grows mighty tall
Living in the boughs, you pray it don't fall
Eight miles high, two feet around
It don't take a hurricane to blow it

[Chorus]
Down by the riverside
Ain't nobody laying by your side

[Verse 2]
You and me sitting in a tree
H-A-N-G-I-N-G
Out doing just about nothing
Waiting for someone to cut me

[Chorus]
Down by the riverside
Ain't nobody laying by your side

[Verse 3]
I try to keep my mind straight
Close my eyes and meditate
You know, pacify desire
I try to keep my mind straight
Close my eyes and meditate
Next thing I know I'm climbin' higher
Oh me, Oh my
I know I'm gonna die
But I don't like saying goodbye
So I'll go on pretending
This love is never-ending

[Chorus]
Down by the riverside
Ain't nobody laying by your side
Down by the riverside
Ain't nobody laying by your side
Oh no
