Rob Hirst, Jay O'Shea - Fierce Green Trees Lyrics

It was a day, a day like any other
I had no warning, no red sky in the morning
It was a day

It was a day
The birds grew still and silent
The clouds moved fast and violent
A resolution forming
It was a day
On our patch of earth
It was a day
The dogs were sleeping in the dirt

C’mon Sun, out you come
‘Cause strange things happen
When you stay hidden
Hidden by the trees

The fierce green trees
Standing over me
Watching me
Judging me
Those fierce green trees
Standing over me
Watching me
Staring down at me
Those fierce, fierce green trees

It was a day, 24th of May
You woke raisin’ Cain
Took the morning train
Down to Sydney Harbour
And disappeared
We never spoke again

We’re a home divided
Like broken streamers
Hanging from the liners
Leaving the Quay

Leaving me with fierce green trees
Staring down at me
Watching me
Judging me
Those fierce, fierce green trees

Staring down at me
Standing over me
Judging me
Those fierce, fierce green trees

Watching me
Judging me
Those fierce, fierce green trees (Judging me)
