Well, I wake in the night and I wanna write about what we went throughI've been lying still for weeksGot this new piano and it's older than my dadBut it sings the way I think so I stay at home and playAnd I get in and out some of these daysOh, I'd rather swing below this old red treeBut I get tired, yeah, I've seen too muchI ain't got a dollar to my name, full of stories I amI ramble on about love and her and herThere were two of them, one left and one diedOne year in the life, you know I lost everythingBut I found a new home in the women I belong toThey make me tired, yeah, I've seen too muchOh, I ain't never been so alone and I never felt so coldI swear that I want love more than I want goldI'd trade it all for one more story with youOr one more kiss with her, one more year innocentAnd there was a time not so long ago when I knew I had the worldOh, I held it close, close enough to let me goAnd it made me tired, yeah, I've seen too muchOh yeah, I've seen too muchSongtexteOh, I sayOh, I sayMy past swings away from me as I swing beneath this old red treeBeen swinging here for years nowAnd I swung through their deaths and weddingsAnd confessed love to the women I belong toAnd my mother's getting old, she watches colder winters as we ageWho does she belong toI bet she's tired, bet she's seen too muchI'm tired, I know I've seen too muchI'm tired, yeah, I've seen too muchOh, I'm tired, yeah, I've seen too muchYeah, I'm tired Aus Songtexte Mania
