Lyrics
"THE TREE IN MY BACK YARD"
They say lightning is faster than sound, But do they truley know?
The question that I pose to you, Is, Where did my childhood go?
Sunkist days of floating free, My favorite place, all alone, with me.
Now those dreams are so innocent, They seem rusted cracked and hard.
The only living testament to them is the tree in my back yard.
At first I thought it was me, Oh how I was wrong.
A smack, a shove, and the pain sears through me, "Did it make you feel strong?"
I could never run fast enough, or hide.
I could never not be found.
Whenever your voice was heard throughout,
My heart began to pound.
.......Oh it seems to me they should be gone, The years have all gone by.
But sometimes in the darkest night I still sit up and cry.
Tell me why it happened Dad, Make me understand.
Listen to my questions, and then you answer like a man.
Now your gone forever, Still you haunt my soul.
The sound of angry voices, in my spirit just leaves a hole.
The tree in my back yard, Has been plowed into the land.
With it along goes the memory of that wicked bastard man.
.....OOOh it seems to me they should be gone, The years have all ticked by now.
But sometimes in the darkest night I still sit up and cry.
Tell me why it happened, Yeah, make me understand.
Listen to my questions, and then you answer like a man.
The bottle that you lived in, Seemed to have no end.
Every time the breeze blows, My heart begins to mend........
