lyrics

Sequoia Sempervirens:
The Tree That Always Lives
by Jim Ocean
“The Stable” was a sight to see
Hollow at the ground and she
Rose three hundred feet or more
Her mouth was a cathedral door
Twelve horses fit inside
Upstairs ten men could hide
From the storms that swept the sea
On Sundays they held service in that tree
But even Jesus couldn't save that tree
Sequoia Sempervirens
The tree that always lives
You gave all you could give
Sequoia Sempervirens
When the Stable hit the ground
She shook Big Bottom all the way to town.
“The Beanpole” seemed to scrape the sky
Like a building in Manhatten
He held roost in all Big Bottom
He had few branches on him
You could see him in the dark
On starry nights in Guernewood Park
His silhouette would give you tingles
They took him down for the shingles
Six hundred thousand roof shingles
Sequoia Sempervirens
The tree that always lives
You gave all you could give
Sequoia Sempervirens
When they took the Beanpole down
They watched him falling all the way to town.
There are ghosts in old Big Bottom
Forests here are old and haunted
Phantom trees still hold their ground
Standing where they took 'em down
When you've held earth for so long
You don't leave this world so quickly
You'd haunt the woods and fairy rings
You'd haunt the ones who took you for those things
Like you haunt me now and this is why I sing
Sequoia Sempervirens
The tree that always lives
You gave all you could give
Sequoia Sempervirens
But like Ronald Reagan said
"You've seen one redwood tree, you've seen em all."
Sequoia Sempervirens.
