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 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
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


Ooh...


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


Oh 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
