Stolen Words: Boys in the Trees – Carly Simon

By the Lake: An Ode to Freedom and Youth by Niv Shank. HeyBoyMag (2025)

“I’m home again in my old narrow bed
Where I grew tall and my feet hung over the end
The low beam room with the window looking out
On the soft summer garden
Where the boys grew in the trees.”

Boys in the Trees (1978). Lyrics by Carly Simon.
