作词 : Rod McKuen
I know a tree
Beyond the bend ahead
That drags its branches in the water
Beneath it there's yellow grass and coloured stones
If you can shake your new friend from your mind
We'll go down along the water's edge
And give ourselves another chance
Think about the squirrels darting in the fallen leaves
Consider the changing clouds
The crickets are still singing in the grass
Think of how they'll sound when Christmas comes again
This is daylight
Turn, and face me face to face
We'll go naked in the afternoon and
Then you'll see I'm only me
Have you expected something more, all this time?
Or does your new love taste like apple wine?
I taste like you
Remember?
Because I've been with you so long
Because we are each other
As we are ourselves
All I have to fight the new is
What I've been for you before
