Not Even the Trees Hootie & the Blowfish

Alone as I sit and watch the trees
Won't you tell me, if I scream, will they bend down and listen to me?
And it makes me wonder
If I know the words, will you come?
Or will you laugh at me?
Or will I run?

Little boy says to me, "Where you goin' now, son?"
I said, "I don't know where I'm goin', boy, I only know where I'm from"
And it makes me wonder
If the stars shine when my eyes close
Or does my brother's heart cry?
Well, I don't know

I'm a stranger in my home
Now that everybody's gone
Someone please talk to me 'cause I feel you cry
And you're sitting with him
And I know I'll never see you again

Lying down in Charleston under the Carolina sky
You see, I'm tired of feeling this pain
I'm tired of living my own little lie
And it makes me wonder
When I see you in my dreams
Does it mean anything?
Are you trying to talk to me?
