Top Branch of the Tree

i went walking

on a mountain

the ground crumbled 

underfoot

burning money

to keep warm

my eyes black 

from the soot

and no surprise 

my useless lies

had left me all alone

my alibis

had hardened

into stone:

won't you come

here and see?

I just climbed up

to the the top branch

of the tree

don't just stand

there and look

they got me written

in the pages 
of a book

then i was falling

for a lifetime

never thought

it would end

till i landed

at long last

on the shoulders

of my friends

so: la-row-la-rye

la-row-la-rye

la-row-la-rye-la-rye

rollin' with 

la-row-la-raw

loo-rye:

won't you come

here and see?

I just climbed up 

to the the top branch

of the tree

don't just stand

there and look

they got me written

in the pages 

of a book
