The Saw and the Tree - Tim Finn

In this house of wood among the trembling leaves

Voices carrying through the walls and down the street

A man will lose his head not measuring his words

The story goes from bad to worse

And I'm sorry if I hurt you like the saw cuts the tree

And I didn't want to bring you to your knees

An instrument of ignorance facing his reality

'Oh I'm sorry' cried the saw to the tree

And I let you down I tried to cut you down to size

There'll always be a battle when you hate to compromise

I tore your world apart when I bed my teeth

Now I know what lies underneath

And I'm sorry if I hurt you like the saw cuts the tree

And I didn't want to bring you to your knees

An instrument of ignorance facing his reality

'Oh I'm sorry' cried the saw to the tree

And I'm sorry if I hurt you like the saw cuts the tree

And I didn't want to bring you to your knees

An instrument of ignorance facing his reality

'Oh I'm sorry' cried the saw to the tree

There's no use blaming anyone least of all the family tree

It all starts now with this brutality

A prisoner of his own device making his apology

'Oh I'm sorry' cried the saw to the tree
