Watch out big ships are waiting, salt frozen on your cheek   I saw a girl and boy arriving and a steamer put out to sea      Tall trees stand in the distance   Remember when you were green   Don't wipe the salt from your skin   You must keep running the distance      Sun sleeps on misty morning, light years from channel three   I feel halfway to zero, call me a hero, I might just agree      Tall trees stand in the distance   Remember when you were green   Don't wipe the salt from your skin   You must keep running the distance      And the roses you grow have a powerful scent   They'll be breaking your heart by the morning      I feel halfway to zero, call me a hero, I might just agree      Tall trees stand in the distance   Remember when you were green   Don't wipe the salt from your skin   Tall trees   Tall trees   Don't wipe the salt from your skin   You must keep running the distance   Tall trees
