Lyrics
0:00Black trees
0:05Shaking together in the white breeze
0:15Black trees
0:20Shaking together in the white breeze
0:31I do not know where either of us can turn
0:41Just at first
0:48Waking from the sleep of each other
0:56Just at first
1:05I do not know how we can
1:10Any longer bear
1:19To feast our eyes upon
1:26The flowing river
1:34Baby feast your eyes
1:37I heard what you said
1:39So why don't you
1:41Tell it to the room?
1:48Yeah just tell it to the room
1:55Just turn around and tell it to the room
2:01Just turn around and tell it
2:04Black trees
2:09Shaking together in the white breeze
2:18Like bare trees
2:24Shaking together in the white breeze
2:34Black trees
2:39Shaking it together in the white breeze
2:45Held within this kiss
2:49Yet still alone
2:53Within this kiss
3:02So then in conclusion
3:07Let it be the same
3:15Whether we turn to the dark
3:22Or to the lips of another
3:30Whether we turn to the dark
3:34Let us know this for taking leave
3:45For taking leave
3:53And like rain scented earth
3:56Heaped up over the heart
4:00Is love grown perfect?
4:08And like a translucent shell
4:11Over the beat of life
4:15Is it perfect to the last?
4:23That I may not weigh heavy upon you
4:29Though you defeat me
4:38Like dead leaves falling down to the ground
4:44Is it perfect to the last?
4:49Is it not perfect?
4:52Black trees
4:58Shaking together in the white breeze
5:07Black trees
5:13Shaking together in the white breeze
5:22And I'm holding on so tightly
5:26I'm holding on so tight
5:30To what was never mine
5:34What was never mine
5:37And I'm holding on so tightly
5:41Holding on for dear life
5:45To what was never mine
5:49What was never mine
5:52I'm holding on so tight
6:00To what was never mine
6:07What was never mine
6:22I'm holding on so tight
6:45To what was never mine
Black trees Shaking together in the white breeze Black trees Shaking together in the white breeze I do not know where either of us can turn Just at first Waking from the sleep of each other Just at first I do not know how we can Any longer bear To feast our eyes upon The flowing river Baby feast your eyes I heard what you said So why don't you Tell it to the room? Yeah just tell it to the room Just turn around and tell it to the room Just turn around and tell it Black trees Shaking together in the white breeze Like bare trees Shaking together in the white breeze Black trees Shaking it together in the white breeze Held within this kiss Yet still alone Within this kiss So then in conclusion Let it be the same Whether we turn to the dark Or to the lips of another Whether we turn to the dark Let us know this for taking leave For taking leave And like rain scented earth Heaped up over the heart Is love grown perfect? And like a translucent shell Over the beat of life Is it perfect to the last? That I may not weigh heavy upon you Though you defeat me Like dead leaves falling down to the ground Is it perfect to the last? Is it not perfect? Black trees Shaking together in the white breeze Black trees Shaking together in the white breeze And I'm holding on so tightly I'm holding on so tight To what was never mine What was never mine And I'm holding on so tightly Holding on for dear life To what was never mine What was never mine I'm holding on so tight To what was never mine What was never mine I'm holding on so tight To what was never mine
