lyrics

There in the shade of the old oak tree
I felt my legs give under me
I waited it out patient and proud for you
but by the time i reached your house
the doors were all locked and the lights were out
it had been years since you had lived here

I felt my legs give underneath me
there in the shade of the old oak tree

I felt the knots in my skin like bark
and lay on the ground until it grew dark
with my head full of blame
and my heart sick ashamed for you
If I picture you now you are ivy bound
and you watch the T.V with the sound turned down
though I love you still
so much it makes me ill

I felt my legs give underneath me
there in the shade of the old oak tree
I wailed I shouted out and I cried
punched back at the leaden sky
