The Saw and the Tree

In this house of wood, among the trembling leaves

Voices carrying through the walls and down the street

A man will lose his head not measuring his words

The story goes from bad to worse

And I'm sorry if I hurt you like the saw cuts the tree

And I didn't want to bring you to your knees

An instrument of ignorance facing his reality

'Oh, I'm sorry' - cried the saw to the tree

And I let you down, I tried to cut you down to size

There'll always be a battle when you hate to compromise

I tore your world apart when I b…ed my teeth

Now I know what lies underneath

And I'm sorry if I hurt you like the saw cuts the tree

And I didn't want to bring you to your knees

An instrument of ignorance facing his reality

'Oh, I'm sorry' - cried the saw to the tree

And I'm sorry if I hurt you like the saw cuts the tree

And I didn't want to bring you to your knees

An instrument of ignorance facing his reality

'Oh, I'm sorry' - cried the saw to the tree

There's no use blaming anyone least of all the family tree

It all starts now with this brutality

A prisoner of his own device making his apology

'Oh, I'm sorry' - cried the saw to the tree
