Lyrics The Old Dead Tree

The Old Dead Tree

Regarding Kate

Kate is sad

She feels like she's losing interest

In love

She's disappointed

By life

Oh sweet star

Please shine

Shine for her in the dark

You know sometimes it can help

To sleep

Oh all, all of her life she's been waiting

For the great love, the perfect wedding

Kate thinks that the sky

Will soon, will soon turn to grey

The clouds are so dark today

She says:

"Oh sweet star

Please shine

Shine for me in the dark

You know sometimes it can help

To sleep"

Oh all, all of her life she's been waiting

For the great love, the perfect wedding

All for one and none for her

She prepares herself to live alone

Driven by despair

She sleeps

And slips deeper

So cold is her bed at night

No shelter for her during the storm

She'd like to vanish out of sight

To sleep

Sleeping the slips down

She doesn't want to show

Her soul in the raw

She lives her life her own way

She needs to enjoy each day

"Don't worry" she says

She's really fine

Smiling and laughing all the time

She says she's fine

But she knows she's wrong

She lives her life her own way

But cries over her life

She needs to enjoy each day

With fake smiles on her face

Why should life be so heavy

She cannot stand this idea

She lives her life her own way

But Kate is so sad
