No time for pity, for the tree or me.

In the falling rain

Do you remember?

Chorus:
I can hear all the cries of the city
No time for pity
For a growing tree
There is a world of pain
In the falling rain
Around me

Outside my window is a tree
Outside my window is a tree
There only for me

Chorus:
And it stands in the grey of the city
No time for pity
For the tree or me
There is a world of pain
In the falling rain
Around me
