Henning Pauly no tree to sit under

Once a boy lived in a town
Played with his friends - a community
And when he needed shelter
He found it under a tree
lt was massive and it was strong
Had a kind of personality
The boy blinked and it was gone
What happened he couldn't see
No Tree to sit under
In times when you're alone
No Tree to sit under
Tell me what went wrong
At the stump he stood and wondered
Why his friend had disappeared
Packed his bags and Ieft him lonely
This could be foul play he feared
They cut the tree and left a note
That read you are on your own
He realized that trusting friends
Caused the damage that was done
No Tree to sit under
In times when you're alone
No Tree to sit under
Tell me what went wrong
If the first is gone the next will follow
The boy had to face reality
And so have I 'cause it's no story
You‘re right, the boy, the boy is me, yeah
No Tree to sit under
In times when you're alone
No Tree to sit under
Tell me what went wrong
No Tree to sit under
In times when you're alone
No Tree to sit under
Tell me what went wrong
I am here - you see
No one's left but me
No one's left but me
