Laura Nyro - Talk to a Green Tree lyrics
Baby in the cradle Needs to stay strong I need some ease before long And all the world around me Still in love with war And I must teach that baby That love is what life's for And you may help me Pretty daddy But you can never lead me 'cause you don't seem to hear me Gonna talk to a green tree Talk to a green tree (Green tree) What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? I'm a working woman With a baby on my back Won't you see me through? Wind in the treetops Flame in the song Mother I need your wise words But you died before he was born And all the world around me Still in love with war And I much teach that baby, momma That love is what life is for And you have fire Little child And we are growing And I could really fly With you by the green tree We'll lie by the green tree (Green tree) We're your company We're your company I'm a working woman With a baby on my back I need some energy Listen pretty daddy You can take my place Childcare and home Is no disgrace But eight days a week May wilt your wild flower And after you've done it all big daddy Be ready for the midnight hour And you, society You can never lead me 'Cause you don't seem to hear me Gonna talk to a green tree Talk to a green tree (Green tree) What am I gonna do To set my spirit free? I'm a working woman With a baby on my back I need some energy |
