Good Lovin’ (And the Trees Reach Out) Mandalyn May 2012


I fell in love with the Sycamore tree,
I fell in love with the Laurel
I fell in love with a child the same as me,
just an old soul in a living mortal

and the trees, and the trees reach out their leaves,
high into the sky above ‘em
and the trees, and the trees reach out their leaves,
to remind us ‘bout good loving

I fell in love with the Ash and the Bay,
I fell in love with the Rowan
I fell in love for to be swept away
to be guided and nourished by the knowing

and the trees, and the trees reach out their leaves,
high into the sky above ‘em
and the trees, and the trees reach out their leaves,
to remind us ‘bout good loving
to remind us ‘bout good loving

BREAK (OVER VERSE)

As I stand quite still upon the earth I can feel it in my bones
The love that pours right through the skin
of the flow’rs, the trees, and the stones

and the trees, and the trees reach out their leaves,
high into the sky above ‘em
and the trees, and the trees reach out their leaves,
to remind us ‘bout good loving
to remind us ‘bout good loving

I fell in love with the nut and the berry.
I fell in love with the acorn
‘Cause all good living things spring from a tiny seed
reaching up and out to be born

Reach your hands, reach your hands into the sky,
reach your hands, reach your hands out
Reach your hands, reach your hands into the sky,
reach up, reach up, reach out

Reach up, reach up, reach out.
