Boys In The Trees

(carly simon)

There's always someone haunting someone - haunting someone
Like an echo in the wind leaves, unreconciled -
Waiting to be picked up and bounced down again on
Listeners ears

There's always someone haunting someone - haunting someone
And you know who i am
Though i never leave my name or number
I'm locked inside of you so it doesn't matter

There's always someone haunting someone - haunting someone
And you know who i am
Though i never leave my name or number
I'm locked inside of you so it doesn't matter

There's always someone haunting someone - haunting someone
And i can't sleep easy
'cause i'm afraid of dreaming
And then the memory of the dream
There's always someone haunting someone
Haunting someone
Haunting someone

Why'd you tell me this
Were you looking for my reaction
What do you need to know
Don't you know i'll always be your girl
You don't have to prove to me you're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own

(chorus)
You belong to me
Tell her you were fooling
You don't even know her
Tell her that i love you

You belong to me
Can it be, honey, that you're not sure
You belong to me
Thought we'd closed the book - locked the door
You don't have to prove to me that you're beautiful to strangers
I've got loving eyes of my own
And i can tell - i can tell darling
Tell her - tell her that i love you

You belong - you belong - you belong to me
Tell her you were fooling
Tell her she don't even know you
Tell her you were fooling
I know you from a long time ago, baby
Don't leave me to go to her now
You belong to me.

let's make love for old times sake.
Let's set right an old mistake.
Let's invite our hearts to break.
It's right tonight, but just for old time's sake.

Remember you as mars, and me as venus.
Strange to see the grey in your hair.
And now to feel a peace so deep between us,
And to realize that we still care.

Let's make love for old times sake.
Let's set right an old mistake.
Let's invite our hearts to break.
It's right tonight, but just for old time's sake.

I used to think we would wind up together,
Our destinies always entwined.
Oh, but your heart kept changing like the weather,
And you wound up leaving me behind.

Let's make love for old times sake.
Let's set right an old mistake.
Let's invite our hearts to break.
It's right tonight, but just for old time's sake.

Let's make love for old times sake.
Let's set right an old mistake.
Let's invite our hearts to break.
It's right tonight, but just for old time's sake.

It's right tonight, yeah,
But just for old time's sake...
It's right tonight for old time's sake.
For old time's sake.
Old times sake...

In a small moment
She accepted credit for something she did not do
She said she'd done the water color in her bedroom
But it was done by a friend from school
Just a little lie
No one would discover
At least not very soon

In a small moment
Just a little lie
When she wasn't looking it just slipped on by

In a small moment
In a restaurant where she worked the late night shift
She short changed a sailor and made five
You could never really call it a theft
Just a little lie
Swept up in her apron and kept as a well deserved gift
In a small moment
Just a little lie
When she wasn't looking it just slipped on by

In a small moment
She cheated on her lover and placed it in the back of her mind
As long as nobody knew the truth about her
It could never really be unkind
Just a little lie
That slipped beside her as she tossed and turned in her alibis

In a small moment
Just a little lie
When she wasn't looking it just slipped on by
Just a little lie
When she wasn't looking it jsut slipped on by
Slipped on by

I'm home again in my old narrow bed
Where i grew tall and my feet hung over the end
The low beam room with the window looking out
On the soft summer garden
Where the boys grew in the trees

Here i grew guilty
And no one was at fault
Frightened by the power in every innocent thought
And the silent understanding passing down
>from daughter to daughter
Let the boys grow in the trees

Do you go to them or do you let them come to you
Do you stand in back afraid that you'll intrude
Deny yourself and hope someone will see
And live like a flower
While the boys grew in the trees

Last night i slept in sheets the colour of fire
Tonight i lie alone again and curse my own desires
Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze
And watch by the window
Where the boys grew in the trees

(chorus)
Tranquillo, got to get you into bed now
Just a little boy in the body of a dream
Can't stay up and won't go to sleep
What does it mean -

Tranquillo, no other way to go now
'cause you need a lot of bass & drums for your rockabye
Just a lullaby for a wide-eyed guy
This charm of yours, better put it on hold
Put it on hold, put it on hold because you...

(chorus)
Melt my heart, why don't you
Melt my heart
Melt my heart, tranquillo
Melt my heart

Tranquillo, i wanted to go out dancin'
But you got me dancin' round and round
Your momma's never gonna get to town
These plans of mine better put 'em on hold
Put 'em on hold, put 'em on hold because you

(chorus)
Melt my heart, why don't you
Melt my heart
Melt my heart, tranquillo
Melt my heart
