Lyrics Hearts On Trees - Ricky Warwick

Hearts On Trees

20 hours of ocean raised underneath our feet
We now know that this game is on
Yet it still tastes bitter sweet
We’ve no more talking left to do
Our demons lost and found
We’re in Ireland boys screams the radio
As this old girl touches down
La la la la la
La la la la
It’s darker mom at night time and greener by the day
We’re here until the sirens call on the banks of cold Lough Neagh
Hey mom forgot to mention there’s a girl I kinda know
Looks just like Rita Hayworth every night she steals my show
I know we’ll leave our future here
Across the dark old seas
Tonight we leave for hell itself
With our hearts carved in the trees
La la la la la
La la la la la
Sometimes we take the boats out to an isle beyond the shore
Me and Karen take turns rowing I could stay forevermore
The word comes back and whispers that we’re almost good to go
I’ll miss you mom I’m scared tonight can’t let the terror show
I know we’ll leave our future here
Across the dark old seas
Tonight we leave for hell itself
With our hearts carved in the trees
La la la la la
La la la la la
It’s a long way to milwaukee put the words to my own tune
May Westlake’s here beside me on this perfect bombers moon
Cara’s at her window
Tear filled emerald eyes
Staring out into uncertainty beyond these Irish skies
I know we’ll leave our future here
Across the dark old seas
Tonight we leave for hell itself
With our hearts carved in the trees
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
If I never make it home I’ll never get back to the farm
Lay my spirit on Ram’s Island where no one can cause me harm
On the wing with Lazy Dragonfly I’ll float there on the breeze
With my soul at peace in heaven and my heart carved on the trees
I know we’ll leave our future here
Across the dark old seas
Tonight we leave for hell itself
With our hearts carved in the trees
I know we’ll leave our future here
Across the dark old seas
Tonight we leave for hell itself
With our hearts carved in the trees
With our hearts carved in the trees
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
