Boys In The Trees Lyrics

    (carly simon)

    I'm home again in my old narrow bed
    Where i grew tall and my feet hung over the end
    The low beam room with the window looking out
    On the soft summer garden
    Where the boys grew in the trees

    Here i grew guilty
    And no one was at fault
    Frightened by the power in every innocent thought
    And the silent understanding passing down
    >from daughter to daughter
    Let the boys grow in the trees

    Do you go to them or do you let them come to you
    Do you stand in back afraid that you'll intrude
    Deny yourself and hope someone will see
    And live like a flower
    While the boys grew in the trees

    Last night i slept in sheets the colour of fire
    Tonight i lie alone again and curse my own desires
    Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze
    And watch by the window
    Where the boys grew in the trees
