  You cut  me down a tree
  And brought  it back to me
  And that's  what made me see
  Where I  was going wrong.
  You put  me on a shelf
  And kept  me for yourself
  I can  only blame myself
  You can only  blame me
  And I  could write a song
  A hundred  miles long
  Well, that's  where I belong
  And you  belong to me
  And I  could write it down
  Or spread  it all around
  Get lost  and then get found
  Or swallowed  in the sea
  You put  me on a line
  And hung  me out to dry
  And darling  that's when I
  Decided  to go to see you
  You cut  me down to size
  And opened  up my eyes
  Made  me realize
  What  I could not see
  And I  could write a book
  The one  they'll say that shook
  The world,  and then it took
  It took  it back from me
  And  I could write it down
  Or spread  it all around
  Get lost  and then get found
  And  you'll come back to me
  Not swallowed  in the sea

  Ooh
  And I  could write a song
  A hundred  miles long
  Well, that's  where I belong
  And  you belong with me
  The streets  you're walking on
  A thousand  houses long
  Well, that's  where I belong
  And  you belong with me
  Oh what  good is it to live
  With nothing  left to give
  Forget  but not forgive
  Not loving  all you see
  Oh the  streets you're walking on
  A thousand  houses long
  Well that's  where I belong
  And you  belong with me
  Not swallowed  in the sea
  You  belong with me
  Not swallowed  in the sea
  Yeah, you  belong with me
  Not swallowed  in the sea
