Eucalyptus
Laura Veirs
On my morning run today
I passed a eucalyptus tree
Reminded me of California
My life way before I knew ya
Eucalyptus smells sweet
And with its grey-green leaves it’s beautiful
And like you
It’ll drop its branches suddenly
You crushed me
And those next to me
Who loved me love me
I met a Turkish man who sells rugs
He seemed very gentle like he knew love
I met a Brazilian who taught me to dance
He made me feel my second chance
You crushed me
And those next to me
Who loved me love me
On my morning run today
I passed a eucalyptus tree
Reminded me of California
My life way before I knew ya
