josephine illingworth - big tree lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
it’s been a while since i rode out like this
past the last houses
and into the birch trees

i found the old bikes where they always did sit
my father’s nice grey one
we’d argue who gets it, oh

[chorus 1]
reuben
can’t you remember?
reuben
can’t you remember?

[verse 2]
i read that the gods hang around these old trees
the branches touch heavens
perhaps it’s a doorway

i think it recalls when we lay at its feet
i’m going to ask it
i hope you’ll forgive me

[chorus 2]
reuben
can’t you remember?
oh reuben
will you remember?
can’t you remember?
[verse 3]
i hope that my years stretch as long and as deep
as that night that we cycled
i carried satsumas

we sat side by side underneath the big tree
horizon, horizon
the sky did flash green and i

[chorus 3]
reuben
can’t you remember?
oh reuben
do you remember?
can’t you remember?

[bridge]
and maybe i’ll see
maybe i’ll see
when i am old
when i am green

and maybe i’ll sleep
and all of these things
will shudder and go
to never be seen
and maybe its gone
it’s only a stump
and the story i told
will drift into everything

i think will turn
and cycle back home
before i am old
before i am green

[outro]
oh reuben
oh reuben
