What's your name is it jane
would you mind sitting next to a silly old fool?
it's just i tired of wasting my hours
talking to trees and watching flowers grow
watching birds chasing bees
little boys scraping knees
even my tears have all dried
can i sit by your side?
[chorus:]
don't misunderstand me
i'm just an old man with no place to go
and if you oblige me and sit here beside me
i'll tell you a story a beautiful story
that you might not know please don't go
Pardon me mister tree
i hope i didn't offend you before
you are my friend but i wanted much more
but now i'm back once again
like always before
watching birds chasing bees
little boys scraping knees
even my tears have all dried
can i sit by your side?
[chorus]
