There behind the tree is someone I cannot see
We're playing a game of who will come out first
And the branches up above, they reach out to who I love
All around me everyone is dear
Up and down, east and west
but the tree trunk hides the one I love the best
The tree is shaking now and I think I hear the sound
of your restlessness climbing toward the sky
and the branches up above they reach out to who I love
All around me everyone is dear
North and south, coast to coast
but the branches hold the one I love the most
Then I lift my hands and feel the warmth of your smile and I know
that you're hiding to be found and then you jump down to the ground
Lift me up into the air, dizzy laughing everywhere
Feel my arms pull you near
I really am so happy you are here.
