Cover art for Tall Trees in Georgia lyrics by Eva Cassidy

I think she's contrasting her own ephemeral nature with the tall trees. She has nobody, she has no children or family, she will be gone and forgotten soon. Not like the trees which have been there a long time and will be still after the singer is gone. Great song. Eva Cassidy was really something special.
