Where I come from, silvery tree   Diamond on leaf, can't you see it?   Why did I leave?      The clipping of wings, the draping of kings   I was here long before you   Now kindly leave      This was far, far away   And I knew I would not stay   Down on the ground I'll be found      I opened up my mouth   Didn't make a sound   I could not cut you down, down, down      I was a girl and you were a boy   With innocent thoughts getting colder   Than it was before      This was long, long ago   And I knew we'd never know   Down on the ground I'll be found      I opened up my mouth   Didn't make a sound   I could not cut you down, down, down      Down, down, down   Could not cut you down
