Boys In The Trees - From Boys In The Trees - 1978 Em G I'm home again in my old narrow bed Em G Where I grew tall and my feet hung over the end F#m7 Bm G The low beam room with the window looking out G Cmaj7 On the soft summer garden F#m7 Bm Where the boys grew in the trees Em G Here I grew guilty Em G And no one was at fault Em Frightened by the power G In every innocent thought F#m7 Bm G And the silent understanding passing down G Cmaj7 From daughter to daughter F#m7 Bm Let the boys grow in the trees Em G Do you go to them Em G Or do you let them come to you Em Do you stand in back G Afraid that you'll intrude F#m7 Bm G Deny yourself and hope someone will see G Cmaj7 And live like a flower F#m7 Bm While the boys grow in the trees Em G Last night I slept in sheets the color of fire Em Tonight I lie alone again G And I curse my own desires F#m7 Bm G Sentenced first to burn and then to freeze G Cmaj7 And watch by the window F#m7 Bm Where the boys grew in the trees F#m7 Emaj9 Boys in the trees
