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 yourself


I can only blame myself, you can only blame me




And I could write a song, a hundred miles long


Well that's where I belong and you belong with 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 decided to go to see you


You cut me down to size and opened up my eyes

Made me realize 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 spread it all around


Get lost and then get found and you'll come back to me

Not swallowed in the sea





And I could write a song, a hundred miles long

Well that's where I belong and you belong with me


The streets you're walking on, a thousand houses long


Well that's where I belong and you belong with me




Oh what good is it to live with nothing left to give


Forget but not forgive, not loving all you see

Are the streets you're walking on, a thousand houses long


Well that's where I belong 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
