Trees in the Wind Lyrics

In that room, with its red sunsets, it was eternity's time to speak

So we listened, as if our hearts were made of stone

Fear struck, havoc reeks, the murderer sat in the front row

That orphan wrote today's date on the blackboard, way to go

The executioner was my best friend, he already wore black, sittin' in the back

School, prison, trees in the wind, climbed your gloomy stairs

I stood in the corner with my face to the wall, no cares

The murderer sat in the front row

That orphan wrote today's date on the blackboard, way to go

I remember, the janitor brought us mice to play with

The murderer sat in the front row

That orphan wrote today's date on the blackboard, way to go

I remember, the janitor brought us mice to play with

The murderer sat in the front row

That orphan wrote today's date on the blackboard

School, prison, trees in the wind, I climbed your gloomy stairs

With my face to the wall, no cares

All that in ruins now, cracked peeling walls

With every window broken, everyone falls

The prisoner forgotten, in solitaire

And a schoolboy left behind, shuddered with fear

And aged by humankind

School, prison, trees in the wind, stood in the corner with my face to the wall, no cares

Oh, no cares

The murderer sat in the front row

That orphan wrote on the blackboard, way to go

I stood in the room with red sunsets

Fear struck, havoc reaped

For it was eternity's time to speak

All that in ruins now, cracked peeling walls

Everyone falls

The prisoner forgotten, in solitaire

In that room with its red sunsets

It was eternity's time to speak

So we listened, as if our hearts were made of stone

Fear struck, havoc reaped

The murderer sat in the front row

That orphan wrote today's date on the blackboard, way to go

The executioner was my best friend

He already wore black, sitting in the back

School, prison, trees in the wind, climbed your gloomy stairs

I stood in the corner with my face to the wall, no cares
