"The Lowest Trees Have Tops" lyrics
"The Lowest Trees Have Tops"
The lowest trees have tops, the ant her gall
The fly her spleen, the little spark his heat
And slender hairs cast shadows, low but small,
And bees have stings, although they be not great
Seas have their source, and so have shallow springs
And love is love, in beggars and in kings
Seas have their source, and so have shallow springs
And love is love, in beggars and in kings
Where waters smoothest run, deep are the fords
The dial stirs, yet none perceive it move
The firmest faith is in fewest words
The turtles cannot sing, and yet they love
True hearts have eyes, and ears, no tongues to spake
They hear, and see, and sigh, and then they break
True hearts have eyes, and ears, no tongues to spake
They hear, and see, and sigh, and then they break
Thanks to Julian, JudeBlack, Kevin Peterson for correcting these lyrics.

To pick me back up and to push me along?
Tell me
You'll be...
Leonard Cohen - "Boogie Street" O Crown of Light, O Darkened One,
I never thought we’d meet.
You kiss my lips, and then it’s done:
I’m back on Boogie Street.
A sip of wine, a cigarette,
And then it’s time to go.
I tidied up...
Elvis Costello - "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" Baby can you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Don't you know that no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be mad I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh...
The Rembrandts - "Just The Way It Is, Baby" Do you remember once upon a time
When you were mine?
The stars above were bright and new
I pulled them down for you
Just when I fell in love again
You said that all good things must end
Baby, that's...
Eva Cassidy - "Time After Time" Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback - warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcases of memories
Time after
Sometimes you picture...
