lyrics

I’m like a tree
I’m like a tree, I have rings of memory.
I’m like an old stick and then I forget.
And I used to think of me, almost all of the time.
Oh, love, forgive me if it seems like you’re standing in line.

Chorus
But you know I love you
In a way that is way out of style
And you know that I need you
Though I never said a thing all the while
When a poor country boy meets a girl like you
Something is bound give…

Walk through the fields. Yes, I want you by me.
It’s like an old song, been way to long.
Well, I seen a lot, oh, I’ve been the traveling kind.
Oh Love forgive me,
If I wandered off and left you behind

Don’t try to hide, got you down in my memory
And they say love abides, and I am here too.
I dream of you
Even though I’ve got a lot on my mind.
Oh, love, forgive me if it seems like we never have time.

Like a dam on the ocean
Like a tree in strong wind
Like a horse in the evening, going home again
Falling star in the winter; gravity makes it bend

about

J.W. McClure Seattle, Washington

J.W. McClure lives in Stanwood, Washington. This is a career restarted for me. In the 1970’s I was often an opening act at the Washington D.C. clubs, The Cellar Door and The Childe Harold for Tom Paxton, Dave Van Ronk, Tom Rush and many well known bands. In the 1980’s I returned to Washington to do folk music, satire and stand-up comedy before getting swamped by family and other work. ... more
