Lyrics
The Shade Of Poison Trees
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you knew what I know,
Would you try before your time has run anew and worn you down?
Would you know what you deserve in your heart?
And if you knew what I knew, would you try?
Is there time?
Is there time to follow just one desire?
Is there time?
Is there time to follow your heart's?
Dress your wounds
Test your strength
Face the night
Crave the touch
Feel the pain
Know the signs
Is there truth in your pain?
You decide.
If you knew what I know,
Would you try?
Is there time?
Is there time to follow just one desire?
Is there time?
Is there time to follow your heart's?
As we lie in the shade of poison trees
Are we as safe as we let ourselves believe?
