Night Blackmore's Lyrics
Hanging tree Lyrics
There have been many tales
Tainted by truth twisted by time
Some choose to forget
Yet it still
Weaves webs in their minds
And it seems like shes been here forever
Her branches as black as the seas
Shes been through it all
By the luck of the draw
She became the old hanging tree
She asked for nothing
Except maybe
A little rain
They used her strength
To help them steal lives away
And she witnessed the sadness and sorrow
To this day she still doesnt know why
And her heart broke
When they came with the rope
To declare her the old hanging tree
Life stranger than fiction
Can make you want to cry
Roots could never stop her
From reaching for the sky
Those years have all past
Lucky for us lucky for her..
Now, children play at her feet
And in her arms she cradles birds
And it seems shes been here forever
These days are the best that shes seen
But somewhere in the back
Of her mind
Is the time
She was known as the old hanging tree
Tainted by truth twisted by time
Some choose to forget
Yet it still
Weaves webs in their minds
And it seems like shes been here forever
Her branches as black as the seas
Shes been through it all
By the luck of the draw
She became the old hanging tree
She asked for nothing
Except maybe
A little rain
They used her strength
To help them steal lives away
And she witnessed the sadness and sorrow
To this day she still doesnt know why
And her heart broke
When they came with the rope
To declare her the old hanging tree
Life stranger than fiction
Can make you want to cry
Roots could never stop her
From reaching for the sky
Those years have all past
Lucky for us lucky for her..
Now, children play at her feet
And in her arms she cradles birds
And it seems shes been here forever
These days are the best that shes seen
But somewhere in the back
Of her mind
Is the time
She was known as the old hanging tree
