The Rosebuds

Shake Our Tree

The Rosebuds


That bird's ready I know 
He's tired of being alone 
He's working all on his own 
Building himself a home 

And take that finch when he sings 
See his mate by his wings 
And if you listen close 
You may even hear him say 

Will our love ever end (woah no) 
Will you stop being my best friend (woah no) 
Will you sleep as worse as me (woah no) 
Singing a story of love in the leaves 

(oo-oo-o-oo) 
Before the winter takes hold 
And the figs are dry and cold 
The birds are meetin' in the tree 
And confess love's what they need 
Perform love on their limbs 
And sing one of love's true hyms 
And if you listen close 
You can even hear them say 

Are you ever gonna treat me right (woah no) 
Are you ever gonna hold me down (woah no) 
Will you get tired holding me tight (woah no) 
Looks like the story of love grows, alright 

Will our love ever end (woah no) 
Will you let me shake our tree (woah no) 
Will you stop being my best friend (woah no) 
Looks like the story of love never ends
