Way up in that Tree: Ashley Brooke Toussant (2008©)

Way up in that tree
is a book you should really read
read by a boy you hardly see
barely even loved
he’s got cuts
he lets just bleed.
Sitting on that branch
is a book of romance
piped by a boy with just no chance
too coy to love
he’ll just stay in a trance
Ooooh ooh
Like a cat stuck in a tree
all we can do is let him be
he’s scared of everything
so what he knows
he’ll just re-read
Ooooh ooh
The boy is too shy
he doesn’t feel a thing
as leaves roll on by
he’ll never know
he’ll never know
all he’s missed
Way up in that tree
is a book you should really read
read by a boy who lives simply
learn to love
don’t just hide
in a tree
Oooh ooh
