    Lyrics
    The clouds were black,
    the clouds were grey
    otherwise it's just another day
    I saw the sun & I heard a bird
    but otherwise not another word's
    been said to take me out of my head
    where keeps repeating what she said

    She said, "I tried to give it all I've got
    but what I have is not a lot
    & I'm tired of trying to solve this mystery
    of the boy who fell too far from the tree"

    It's not the first time
    my heart's been broke
    but like a wheel without spokes
    I could not ride away from the wreck
    stood & stared & craned my neck
    turning to look as I was led away
    to hear what they say

    They say, "He tried to give it all he's got
    but what he has is not a lot"
    & they looked with eyes full of pity
    for the boy who fell too far from the tree

    In the evening & home alone
    sometimes she stares at the telephone
    or at the stove over a boiling pot
    her mind is haunted
    by unwanted thoughts
    of paths not taken & what if instead?
    Then she remembers what he said

    He said, "You tried to give it all you've got
    but what we have is not a lot
    better I get out now before you love me"
    the boy who fell too far from the tree
