Lyrics

Take 3 version

What you don't tell no one, you can tell me
Little ghost tall, tan like milk and honey
You're very brave and very free

I push you high, cherry blossom
On your sycamore tree
What you don't tell no one, you can tell me

Swing it high like Jesus, wild and free
Dandelions in your hair, baby
You're very brave and there's much to see

I push you high, cherry blossom
On your sycamore tree
What you don't tell no one, you can tell me

And when you're scared, I'll be right here
You feel afraid, mommy is there
It's a cruel, cruel world, but we don't care
'Cause what we've got, we've got to share

What you don't tell no one, you can tell me
Little ghost, blonde hair with lemonade tea
There's much to learn and so much to see

I push you high and you lean off
On your sycamore tree
What you don't tell no one, you can tell me

Take 1 version

What you don't tell no one, you can tell me
Little ghost tall, tan like milk and honey
You're very brave and you're very free

I push you high, cherry blossom
On your sycamore tree
What you don't tell no one, you can tell me

Swing it high like Jesus, wild and free
Dandelions in your hair, baby
You're very brave and there's much to see

I push you high, cherry blossom
On your sycamore tree
What you don't tell no one, you can tell me

And when you're scared, I'll take you there
You feel afraid, mommy is there
It's a cruel, cruel world, but we don't care
What we've got, we've got to share

What you don't tell no one, you can tell me
Little ghost, blonde hair with lemonade tea
There's much to learn and much to see

I push you high and you lean off
On your sycamore tree
What you don't tell no one, you can tell me

A cappella version

[Snippet]:
What you don't tell no one
You can tell me

Little ghost, tall tan
Like milk and honey
You're very brave
and you're very free

So swing it high cherry blossom
On your sycamore tree
What you don't tell no one
You can tell me

Swing it high like Jesus, baby
Little ghost, so fair
Like lemonade tea
