Chop the Tree |
When in the winter of our discontent, |
We found a way, |
To tie a bond between our hearts, |
In the open field should there we lay, |
Found a sharp stone, found a big tree, |
Found a clear space in the bark, |
Laughing louder, chance a fine thing, |
Moving slowly, off the mark… |
Out of season, given reason, |
Could we see inclement weather |
Chorus: Will you want me, as I want you, as you are, |
The autumn is the finest time, |
The finest of them all, |
Will you need me, as I need you, as I did, |
As I always should’ve done, |
Tell me when we’re there |
Not too long, and not too far, |
My dreams and I were wondering, |
If we harbour, if we labour, |
Sweet the fruit that fortune brings… |
Who will help us, through these cold years, |
Could I glimpse a rising sun, |
Repeat Chorus |
Will you love me, |
As I love you constantly |
Wasted in the downpour |
Whatever we believe, |
Whatever we believe… |
Take them under, take them over, |
Crack the bullwhip, |
Chop the tree… |
