Gallows Tree ft. Old Tom & The Lookouts Lyrics

Scent of mint from the drink

That you're holding in your hand

Stealing shelter in the shade

From the hum of summer air

Learning nothing from the past

Dressed up like tablecloths

Yellow flowers in the grass

Right there in front of us

Now there's a tire swinging from the gallows tree

There's an angry rift between you and me

And we're living like it's fine

How the stories stretch right in front of us

Ringing out the worst of both of us

Darling all we have is time

Flip the blanket, hide the stains

From the last time we were here

Ignore the ghosts between the words

How we deal with all our fear

Learning nothing from the past

Dressed up like tablecloths

Yellow flowers in the grass

Right there in front of us

Now there's a tire swinging from the gallows tree

There's an angry rift between you and me

And we're living like it's fine

How the stories stretch right in front of us

Ringing out the worst of both of us

Darling all we have is time

Darling all we have…

Now there's a tire swinging from the gallows tree

There's an angry rift between you and me

And we're living like it's fine

How the stories stretch right in front of us

Ringing out the worst of both of us

Darling all we have is time

Darling all we have is time
