Look back on the memory
of the way we used to live
Remember that old Salix alba
by the river, across from the bridge?

(At) seven the bell used to ring
from up on the hill
Weve moved on from yesterday
but time, back then, stood still

Call to the children, come in!
They would relentlessly sing
Baby would cry in the nights by the moon
when youd open your arms and you hold me closer

And we thought and we thought
We would love in our own piece of mind
And we fought and we fought
We didnt understand that the tree wasnt blind

Movin on from yesterday
Gonna pass you by
(ah) the tree knows everything
Movin on from yesterday
Im gonna let you go and pass you by
(ah) the tree knows everything, knows everything


Look back on the memory
of the way we used to live
Remember that old Salix alba
by the river, across from the bridge?

(At) seven the lights would go out
down at the mill
Weve moved on from yesterday
but time, back then, stood still

Call to the children, come in!
They would relentlessly sing
Baby would cry in the nights by the moon
open your arms and you hold me closer

And we thought and we thought
We would love in our own piece of mind
And we fought and we fought
We didnt understand that the tree wasnt blind

Movin on from yesterday
Gonna pass you by
(ah) the tree knows everything
Movin on from yesterday
Im gonna let you go and pass you by
(ah) the tree knows everything, knows everything


and we thought and we thought
and we fought and we fought

and we thought and we thought
and we fought and we fought

Weve moved on from yesterday

The tree wasnt blind
