“Just One Tree” (Easy Listening/Jazz/Cabaret) – full orchestral production about love and loss (hint… it ain’t about a tree hahaha). Words by Paul Norman Tapp, music & performance by Zane Kuchera 11/27/24
“Without a doubt it is best not to live in the past. However, I believe to live a better future sometimes reflecting on our past helps us to move forward. Zane’s powerful “Just One Tree” stirs our recall of past struggles while promising a healing tomorrow. Listen well my friend and then listen again.” – PNT
Lyrics
JUST ONE TREE
Words by Paul Norman Tapp ©2024
I can no longer remember her face
I just seeing her packing her suitcase
Long before tall trees fell
Timber spoke a sad farewell
She made out like a lumberjack
I wondered was she never coming back
So many lies she had told to me
But the truth fell with just one tree
Who knows where lies might lead
When the truth is cut just who will bleed
So many lies she had told to me
But the truth fell with just one tree
There was an old oak standing tall
Never thought that tree would fall
Many men live and die to
Climb a tree just to tell a lie
Ropes and ladders a sharpened blade
May someday take away your shade
So many lies she had told to me
But the truth fell with just one tree
Who knows where lies might lead
When the truth is cut just who will bleed
So many lies she had told to me
But the truth fell with just one tree
Funny how the seasons blend
Autumn yields to winters’ wind
With each falling leaf I retrace
Her packing that tree into her suitcase
Every branch and every bough
Even the trunk fit some how
So many lies she had told to me
But the truth fell with just one tree
Who knows where lies might lead
When the truth is cut just who will bleed
So many lies she had told to me
But the truth fell with just one tree
Just one tree
