The bird of prey meets the song of songs
I can't speak Latin, I'm not called Virgil (I'm not called Virgil)
I wipe cloud blossom, I don't say sorry (I don't say sorry)

Opinions change like coats of paint
We've come a long way unto Hawaii (unto Hawaii)
I've bought my children an endless diary (an endless diary)

Cher, cher, cherry tree
Cher, cher, cherry tree

Tell me liliac, where is blossom?
Liliac, where has blossom gone?
Did it happen I was sleeping
And they move on
Or is this compassion, I see
Scared for my grasping decided to leave

Cher, cher, cherry tree
Cher, cher, cherry tree

But I can't touch her, I'm not the gardener (I'm not the gardener)
I can't touch her, I'm not the gardener (I'm not the gardener)

Cher, cher, cherry tree
Cher, cher, cherry tree
