This is a demo version of Oliver. I decided to rewrite this song, which I wrote a few years ago whilst still living in South Africa.
Lyrics
There was a boy
Who lived in a tree
He once had a home
Just like you and me
His story began
In thunder clouds
Chasing raindrops
Afraid to look down
Oliver
You can come down
It's safe on the ground
Oliver
You can come down
It's safe on the ground
Mister Shongololo
And Miss Millipede
They would come round
on Sundays for tea
But all jokes aside
What they couldn't hide
Was beetles laughing
When the party died
Oliver
You can come down
It's safe on the ground
Oliver
You can come down
It's safe on the ground
You know what I mean
Don't understand
Don't understand what's there to hide
You know what I've seen
Don't understand
Don't understand what's there to hide
After years and years
His skin was one with the bark
The ants would march along
In peace in the dark
His sleeps on horizons
Wrapped in galaxies
Smiling soundly
He dreams of running
Oliver
You can come down
It's safe on the ground
Oliver
You can come down
It's safe on the ground
Oliver you can come down!
Oliver you can come down!
His story began
In thunder clouds
