[Verse 1]

Shade of the tree

Safety beneath

You ought to be

Alone

He has not seen

Want of release

Father thinking afar

[Verse 2]

She quietly

Wakes up and leaves

She is running

To his arms

Start the car and see

She's finally free

Drive it into the sun

[Chorus]

If only he tried

If only he crept

Forgetting she cried

And yet she still wept

If only he tried

If only he crept

Forgetting she cried

And yet she still wept

If only he tried

If only he crept

Forgetting she cried

And yet she still wept

[Verse 3]

Shade of the tree

Safety beneath

You are learning

In love

[Chorus]

If only he tried

If only he crept

Forgetting she cried

And yet she still wept

If only he tried

If only he crept

Forgetting she cried

And yet she still wept

If only he tried

If only he crept

Forgetting she cried

And yet she still wept

If only he tried

If only he crept

Forgetting she cried

And yet she still wept

[Interlude]

Wept, wept

She wept

[Outro]

You're lost

You’re lost in love

You’re lost

You’re lost in love

You’re lost

You’re lost in love

You’re lost in love
