Redwood Tree

Oh, redwood tree
 Don't you recognize me?
 No, it's not much time for you
 It's been decades for me
 Oh, redwood tree
 Sorry, I had to leave
 An eager mind and a teenage heart
 Can get hooked on a dream
 I saw the world
 You saw my parents grow old
 You've got your roots
 And I've got the wind
 The wind in my soul
 Oooh, don't know what you have when you're young
 Oooh, but you'll know what you had when it's gone
 You'll know what you had
 Oh, redwood tree
 Now it's just you and me
 Back then it was hard to stay
 And easy to leave
 In the soft summer breeze
 It's so simple to see
 That time kept tickin' back home
 While I was livin' for me
 I saw the world
 You saw my parents grow old
 You've got your roots
 And I've got the wind
 The wind in my soul
 Oooh, don't know what you have when you're young
 Oooh, but you'll know what you had when it's gone
 The only thing left of what used to be is you
 The only thing left of what used to be is you
 Old redwood tree
 Don't you recognize me?
 Oooh, don't know what you have when you're young
 Oooh, but you'll know what you had when it's gone
 Oooh, don't know what you have when you're young
 Oooh, but you'll know what you had when it's gone
 You'll know what you had
 Old redwood tree
