Stu please make a lyrics tab please???? I need your lyrics for my school report because Black Tree represents it so wonderfully i cant even express it to you enough. Please!! No one has made a video or lyric post adn it makes me so sad!! — Asked by Anonymous

black tree, remember me, from the time when we used to talk
how strange, things have changed, i don’t know you anymore
but you stay the same, that’s why i came, i need your clarity
cos i find peace as i sit beneath your familiarity

black tree, remember me, i’m the one who moved away
yeah i know, i’ve grown so much since yesterday
and it’s been so long, that it feels wrong, to ask anything of you
but i’m more lost, than i ever was, and i need to know your truth

black tree, remember me, i hoped you might
i was sure, you saw me running through the night
so i cried out, yeah i screamed so loud, for you to rescue me
but i was found, without a sound, in your company

black tree, remember me, for the rest of time
when i go, i know, they’ll lay me by your side
cos you stand tall, will you ever fall? i know you never will
now i’ll be free, for eternity, on the other side of that old hill
