Laurel Tree

[Verse 1]
I loved a girl, and I love her still
I knew that we should be one
Yes, she gave me such a thirll
I had had my fun
But it faded as the summer sun
And she got away from me
She just wasn't anyone
She turned into a laurel tree

[Chorus]
My girl is on the Thessaly banks
And everyday and everynight
I watch the children play
I touch her leaves at midnight
My girl is on the Thessaly banks
My girl no more
She has been transformed
The one that I yearn for

[Bridge]
As the leavеs fell
I begin to cry
I am just a shell
If shе would only reply

[Chorus]
My girl is on the Thessaly banks
And everyday and everynight
I watch the children play
I touch her leaves at midnight
My girl is on the Thessaly banks
My girl no more
She has been transformed
The one that I yearn for
The one that I yearn for

[Verse 2]
I come down and the tree is no more
My girl is there - laying on the floor
My tears did not pour
She had this in store
A tree she was never
My girl she'll never be
I watched a girl and I love her still
If only it had been in her will
