Outside my window is a tree.
Outside my window is a tree.
There only for me.
And it stands in the grey of the city,
No time for pity, for the tree or me.
 
There is a world of pain
In the falling rain
Around me.
 
Is there a reason for today?
Is there a reason for today?
Do you remember?
I can hear all the cries of the city,
No time for pity for a growing tree.
 
There is a world of pain
In the falling rain
Around me.
 
Outside my window is a tree.
Outside my window is a tree.
There only for me.
And it stands in the grey of the city,
No time for pity, for the tree or me.
 
There is a world of pain
In the falling rain
Around me.
