lyrics

The world is just all noise and dust
And wheels spinning round
Ten thousand faces hurry past
Their speech is just a sound.
Though life is need and life is lack
This joy remains to me
To seek the shade and lean my back
Against a roadside tree.

Beneath the roadside tree, my friend
Beneath the roadside tree
I’ll wait and watch the world whirl by
And for a while be free
Oh, roadside tree.

I left my home in Rajasthan
To labour in the mills
The money that I earned is gone
The wounds are with me still
For life can take the strongest man
And break him like a reed
And leave him stretching out his hand
Down on his knees to plead.

Beneath the roadside tree, my friend
Beneath the roadside tree
I’ll wait and watch the world whirl by
And for a while be free
Oh, roadside tree.
