I am a solitary lonely tree,
No birds perch and sing to me.
Boughs all scrawny and broke,
Is this someone`s idea of a joke.

Oh! why am I the only tree?
No friends standing beside me.
I`m just a sad and lonely tree,
In the middle of a lifeless city.

This is not my home!
I`m just so sad on my own.
Maybe a "Weeping Willow" I should be?
Oh! why am I the only tree.
