Lyrics

Trees are fools, they envy light
they parade all day
they parade all night
lights are lined up like they'll
never get out of place
like a dark hand
that covers up every face

Baby are you a shadow
a smile in a crowd
where you can hide away inside
like you were wearing a shroud

Trees want to get lost
with the hand that doesn't talk
with the wind at any cost
with the wind at any cost

I gave a girl a white dress
it was made of white lace
so she could wear it in the dark
and see throughout all space
she runs away like a thief
