Lyrics for Treehouse Song

Our address was in the sky Just a roof of woven reeds You and I On the highest front Of a very tall tree Months and months we'd stay up high Because all the climbing takes such time And we'd live on the blooms carried in by the breeze Every night I'd promise you We'd go down to see the friends we once knew But every night I'd make an excuse And I never came down from the roof I awoke and you had flown Just an impression of you next to me And the terrible sound of the clapping of leaves Every night I'd promise you We'd go down to see the friends we once knew But every night I'd make an excuse And I never came down from the roof.
