Lyrics

I’m sorry little bird but I’m shaken

Don’t build your nest on me
Somebody was mistaken
If they said I was a sturdy tree
My roots are rotten
I’m hollowed out inside
And I’ve only got one leaf left
And he’s hanging on for dear life
He’s hanging on for dear life
Yeah I’ve been shaken
I’m swingin’ in the breeze
I’m exposed to the elements
I’m a worn out and crooked old tree
Yeah I’ve been shaken
I’m swingin’ in the breeze
I’m exposed to the elements
I’m a worn out and crooked old tree
I’m a worn out and crooked old tree
I’m sorry little girl but I’m taken
Don’t carve your name on me
Gonna leave your heart aching
Gotta grow wild, gotta grow free
My branches are bony
I don’t provide no shade
To fall in love with a crooked old tree
It’s like sleeping with a sickle blade
Like sleeping with a sickle blade
‘Cause I’ve been shaken
I’m swaying in the breeze
I’m exposed to the elements
I’m a worn out and crooked old tree
Yeah I’ve been shaken
I’m wild and I’m free
Let’s get down to the root of it

I’m a worn out and crooked old tree
I’m a worn out and crooked old tree
I’m a worn out and crooked old
I’m sorry new world ‘cause I’m fading
Don’t ya count on me
The wind blows and it’s raining
The ground is gonna embrace me
My skin will crumble
My flesh will burn away
Come on cut me up, stack me up babe
And save me for a rainy day
Come on and save me for a rain day
‘Cause baby I’m shaken
I’m swaying in the breeze
I’m exposed to the elements
I’m a worn out and crooked old tree
Yeah I’ve been shaken
Don’t you put your faith in me
I’m exposed to the elements
I’m a worn out and crooked old tree
I’m a worn out and crooked old tree
I’m a worn out and crooked old tree
