Watch out big ships are waiting Salt frozen on your cheek Saw a girl and boy arriving And a steamer put out to sea Tall tree stand in the distance Remember when you were green Don't wipe the salt from your skin You must keep running the distance Sun sleeps on misty morning Light years from channel three I fell halfway to zero Call me a hero I might just agree Tall tree stand in the distance Remember when you were green Don't wipe the salt from your skin You must keep running the distance And the roses you grow Have a powerful scent They'll be breaking your heart By the morning Tall tree stand in the distance Remember when you were green Don't wipe the salt from your skin You must keep running the distance
