The Burning Tree
Are you coming to the burning tree?
Where they strung up a witch
Who they say murdered three.
Dark things did happen here
No darker would it be
If you came at midnight
To the burning tree.
Are you, are you
Coming to the burning tree?
To take these lanes to find the sea.
Dark things did happen here
No darker would it be
If you could wait at midnight
Where birds don't sing.
Are you, are you
Coming to the burning tree?
Where the dead witch called out
For her love to flee.
Dark things did happen here
No darker would it be
If you at midnight
Let the cat weep to thee.
Will you, will you
Ever come to the tree?
Where I told you to run,
To not trust your skill.
Dark things did happen here
No darker would it be
If you at midnight
Let the witch smile to thee.
