Hanging Tree Lyrics - Blackmores Night

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 she's been here forever 

Her branches as black as the seas 

She's 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 doesn't know why 

But 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... 

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 she's been here forever 

These days are the best that she's seen 

Still somewhere in the back 

Of her mind is the time 

She was known as the old hanging tree... 

Yes somewhere in the back 

Of her mind is the time 

She was known as the old hanging tree...
