Stu Larsen - The Black Tree

Black tree, remember me,
From the time that we used to talk?
How strange, things have changed, I don't know you anymore.
But you stayed the same, that's why I came,
I need your clarity.
'Cause I find peace as I sit beneath,
Your familiarity.

Black tree, remember me?
I'm the one who moved away.
Yeah I know, I've grown so much since yesterday.
And it's been so long that it feels wrong
To ask anything of you.
But I'm more lost than I ever was,
And I need to know you're true.

Black tree, remember me?
I hoped you might.
I was sure, you saw me running through the night.
So I cried out, yeah I screamed so loud,
For you to rescue me.
But I was found without a sound in your company.
Company (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Black tree, remember me
For the rest of time.
When I go, I know that I'll be laid by your side.
'Cause you stand tall, will you ever fall?
I know you never will.
And I'll be free for eternity, on the other side,
Of that old hill
