lyrics

The Hanging Tree

A balmy night for lovers- seeking change from under covers
Playful slaps and ‘beg your pardons’- entering the hanging garden
Bedded her upon a sea- of clover ‘neath the lynching tree
Summer breeze sings songs of hope- to swaying beat of noose and rope

Nature’s bonhomie
Shaded by the hanging tree
Whispered love on baited breath-
contrasts the soil that reeks from death
Best made plans of rats and men-
while knowing he’ll not call again
Abandoned there in sweat and seed-
the draw of fate and shame in deed
Morning finds her swinging free-
another soul to feed the tree

Nature’s bonhomie
Restless and somber ennui
Natures bonhomie
Shrouded by the hanging tree
The hanging tree (8*)
Summer breeze sings songs of hope- to swaying beat of noose and rope
Summer breeze sings songs of love- strung up, given a playful shove
Summer breeze sings songs of hope- to swaying beat of noose and rope
Summer breeze sings songs of lust- ashes to ashes, dust to dust
