lyrics

I’m a tree, I’m a tree
My branches are bones and my leaves
Are my hair, I am aware
That every night two lie underneath me
Their in love, I watch from above
And it doesn’t hurt when they carve their names into me
Because they lie, they keep me company

And he said, “Maybe she oh maybe she will accept this ring from me and she will always be by my side. In times of war I can be sure how could I ever ask for more than for you to always be my side.”

But the country took her man, gave him away to foreign land. Gave him back…
In a box

I’m a tree I’m a tree
And I stand tall in a one-man cemetery
I stretch my roots in his direction
It takes time It takes time
I need to feel this one connection
It takes time Its takes time

“I’m sorry for what I have done. I am sorry for the man I’ve become. I’m sorry I can only think of her name. I’m sorry for the world I have seen I’m sorry you have to share it with me, my memories of a could have been love story

But the box will be tucked away. And as my body’s starting to decay. Now just a box…
In a box

Maybe she, oh, maybe she will reserve a plot next to me
She’ll be always by my side
‘He would want you to move on’ oh tell me darling is that wrong?
That was never my desire
I would much rather you retire
And underneath the Earth we will expire
