Eucalyptus

I'll plant a row
Of eucalyptus

And they will grow
Up to protect us

They'll block the rain, oh
With their salty leaves

They'll keep the wind oh
From our short short sleeves

Well if he comes
And tries to find us

We'll just grab hold
Branches above us

And we'll sit up here
We will wait a year

We'll come back, oh
We'll come back when the coast is clear

Oh no.. oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
It's a row, (a row), a row
A row of stumps surrounding us
It's bright and cold and lonesome
We must have cut them down in our sleep
In our sleep we must have cut down all the trees
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

And now the wind, it hits our sleeves
It's freezing we got colder
Older, we got older

Without those trunks surrounding us
I can see for miles tonight
And I think I see a distant light
And I need to find out what those are

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Sorry about the stumps
Sorry about the stumps
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

You're sitting here on bloody knees
Where once were eucalyptus trees

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
See you in the night

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
See you in the night
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no
