Angel Oak Lyrics - Trees - Molly Ledford & Billy Kelly

Angel Oak, I'm not allowed to climb you 

Angel Oak, there are park rangers around 

Angel Oak, I've always wished to climb a tree and 

I see the way you lay your branches down 

Wish I could wander up the ramp of you 

And look down 

I'd love to stroll on up your branches 

But it's not allowed 

It's fair and square 

I'd never dare to lean on you 

Don't have to tell me that I'm not above the law 

Unlike the birds, unlike the squirrels 

They pass right through 

There are advantages to being wild and small 

If I could follow the same path they do 

Along your boughs 

I'd hold my arms straight out for balance 

They'd never get me down 

Back to the ground 

But you're a famous tree 

A tree that has a name 

And a postcard and a gate 

So I'll stay far enough away 

that brittle rules will never break 

But close enough to dream while I'm awake 

Oh, Angel Oak 

Angel Oak
