Hanging Tree

It was uncertain to me
how I could not assume you
how I could not agree
I know you would have stayed and burned alive
but I've never seen a happy man so unsatisfied
'Till you cut me down from the hanging tree
and you dimmed the lights ever so sweetly
Back in your arms, I long, I long to be
Back in your arms
The kindest man who almost played the cruelest joke on me
And so I'll move in circles
I'm spinning so strange
Now this will be the only time
I can stop, I press my face up to the glass and see that
you have cut me down from the hanging tree
and you shut my eyes ever so sweetly
Back in your arms, I long, I long to be, Lord
Back in your arms
The kindest man who almost played the cruelest joke on me
Back in your arms, I long, I long to be
Back in your arms
The kindest man who almost played the cruelest joke on me
