This old man I've talked about
Broke his own heart,
Poured it in the ground
Big red tree grew up and out,
Throws up its leaves,
Spins round and round.

I know all this and more
So take your hat off
When you're talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree

This little squirrel I used to be
Slammed her bike down the stairs
They put silver where her teeth had been
Baby silvertooth, she grins and grins

I know all this and more
So take your hat off boy
When you're talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree

Take your hat off boy
When you're talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree

This old man I used to be
Spins around, around, around the tree
Silver baby come to me
I'll only hurt you in my dreams

I know all this and
I know all this and
I know all this and more

So take your hat off boy
When you're talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree

Take your hat off
When you're talking to me
And be there when I feed the tree
