Tree Green

And I've been thinking
About the wine we're drinking,
About the line we're sinking.

I'm young as a fool, and green as a tree;
Happy as a man can naturally be.
A good year coming, coming running,
A good year coming soon;
A good year coming, coming running,
A good year coming soon.

Young as a fool, green as a tree;
Happy as a man can naturally be
With you...

And I've been taking
All the love you were making,
Just to keep from shaking.

I'm as young as a fool and green as a tree;
Happy as a man can naturally be.
I just don't care if it just won't come
'Cause I know my time's for free.
I just don't care if it just won't come
'Cause I know the call's for me.

I'm happy as a man can naturally be;
Living in the middle of a mystery
With you...

And it's no use grieving
About the things you're leaving,
About the lies deceiving.

Young as a fool, and green as a tree;
Happy as a man can naturally be.
I just don't care if it just won't come
'Cause I know my time's for free.
I just don't care if it just don't come
'Cause I know the call's for me.

It just don't matter, just don't matter at all,
It just don't matter, just don't matter at all.
It just don't matter, just don't matter at all,
It just don't matter, just don't matter at all...
