lyrics

You said, you don’t want me around
So when you come looking i’ll be nowhere around
Just hanging underneath my favorite
With the noose that you gave to me

With no home to go too
You left me all alone
And I know you like them odd
But it won’t be me
So when you finally find me
Underneath that tree

Only your love
Can cut me down
And bring me back to our hometown
Where our lips did once meet
Where I laid to sleep
Before our love was swept
from underneath our feet

Now I wonder where you roam?
When the night gets so cold
And who whispers in your ear
When there’s nothing left to hear

Here I am underneath this tree
Floating so gracefully
High above the ground
Where we used to lay
On much much much brighter days

Only your love
Can cut me down
And bring me back to our hometown
Where our lips did once meet
Where I laid to sleep
Before our love was swept
from underneath our feet
