Seventeen As A Tree Lyrics

We placed you, little seed,

in the ground seventeen years ago. And we gave you fresh water

and we let the sun shine on your rooty toes.



Yeah, we placed you, little seed.



Yeah we placed you, little seed,

in the ground so cold.

Now we watch you little tree

as your leaves start to grow.



As your leaves start to grow.



I will climb each of your branches

and I will kiss each of your leaves

and I will hug your barky hipbones

and inside your trunk, I'll sleep.
