An old oak tree
It would always ask
Me to nourish thee
I’d sit alone every day
Until you would come to stay
The leaves would fall
And I would too
But I fell in love with you

The broken pieces lay on the floor
Like glass they hurt when touched
Until you came through the door
Blood running down the piece you clutched

An old oak tree
It would always ask
Me to nourish thee
I’d sit alone every day
Until you would come to stay
The leaves would fall
And I would too
But I fell in love with you

My mind has split apart
I felt like I was drowning
My heart had split in two
And it was all for you
I didn’t know what to do

The darkness had settled back in
And I would begin to realise my sin
The sin of letting you examine
The pieces you had clutched

An old oak tree
It would always ask
Me to nourish thee
I’d sit alone every day
Until you would come to stay
The leaves would fall
And I would too
But I fell in love with you

But before I could break
I was made aware of the mistake
That you were planning to leave
My heart had time to relieve


An old oak tree
It would always ask
Me to nourish thee
I’d sit alone every day
Until you would come to stay
The leaves would fall
And I would too
But I fell in love with you

Your smile is like the moon
One shift and it sends a tide
A tide of emotion I can’t explain
It’s like you’ve taken away the rain
And with it....... my pain

An old oak tree
It would always ask
Me to nourish thee
I’d sit alone every day
Until you would come to stay
The leaves would fall
And I would too
But I fell in love with you
I hope you feel that way too
