You cut me down a tree
And brought it back to me
And that's what made me see
Where I was going wrong
You put me on a shelf
And kept me for you rself
I can only blame m yself
You can only blame me
And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I b elong
And you belong to me
And I could write it down
Or spread it all around
Get lost and then get found
Or swallowed in the sea
You put me on a line
And hung me out to dry
And darling that's when I
De cided to go to see you
You cut me down to size
And opened up my eyes
Made me re alize
What I could not see
And I could write a book
The one they'll say that shook
The world, and then it took
It took it back from me
And I could write it down
Or s pread it all around
Get lost and then get found
And you'll come back to me
Not swallowed in the sea
Instrumental : (4x)
And I could write a song
A hundred miles long
Well, that's where I b elong
And you belong with me
The s treets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well, that's where I b elong
And you belong with me
Oh what good is it to live
With nothing left to give
For get but not fo rgive
Not loving all you see
Oh the s treets you're walking on
A thousand houses long
Well that's where I b elong
And you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
You belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
Yeah, you belong with me
Not swallowed in the sea
