Under the Tallest Tree - Anette Askvik

She’s sitting under the tallest tree

She has just one wish

She’s counting the leaves

As they fall to the ground

But hasn’t found what she’s looking for yet

Sometimes at the end of the day

She’s starting to think that what she’s looking for

Might have got lost on its way

She’s sitting under the tallest tree

The sun will rise again

These are words you can say

To the happy man,

But a lonely heart wouldn’t understand

Sometimes at the end of the day

She’s starting to think that what she’s looking for

Might have got lost on its way

She’s counting the leaves as they fall to the ground

There cannot be many left

She never used to

Doubt that she would find

She just moved from one tree to the next

Sometimes at the end of the day

If she had walked through the park

She’d seen there’s many more who just

Sit under a tree and wait
