Gallows Tree

Scent of mint from the drink
That you're holding in your hand
Stealing shelter in the shade
From the hum of summer air

Learning nothing from the past
Dressed up like tablecloths
Yellow flowers in the grass
Right there in front of us

Now there's a tire swinging from the gallows tree
There's an angry rift between you and me
And we're living like it's fine
How the stories stretch right in front of us
Ringing out the worst of both of us
Darling all we have is time

Flip the blanket, hide the stains
From the last time we were here
Ignore the ghosts between the words
How we deal with all our fear

Learning nothing from the past
Dressed up like tablecloths
Yellow flowers in the grass
Right there in front of us

Now there's a tire swinging from the gallows tree
There's an angry rift between you and me
And we're living like it's fine
How the stories stretch right in front of us
Ringing out the worst of both of us
Darling all we have is time
Darling all we have...
Now there's a tire swinging from the gallows tree
There's an angry rift between you and me
And we're living like it's fine
How the stories stretch right in front of us
Ringing out the worst of both of us
Darling all we have is time
Darling all we have is time
