What is hiding behind the trees, baby?
What is hiding? Behind that piece of wood, what is hiding?
What is behind the shadows, baby?
What is? That bright eye in the dark, what is?
Baby, I was looking at the trees
And they were looking at me, baby.
What is hiding behind the trees?
It’s the mountain.
Such an enormous monster he is.
`Coward`, some would say,
But I say `grey`.
Grey is the massive sky
From all the tears that he cried.
The mountain hides behind the trees
And the trees hide the mountain,
So that the mountain would not soak
With the tears of the broke.
But, baby, why did the sky cry?
Because the sun told him a lie.
I guess I’ll just try to fly
And give the sky a hug.
