Circle

There’s a lie that I told to you

That now I can’t tell the truth

And it ate me inside, so one soft drunken night

I slept with a man you knew

Then in the morning I walked home alone

And the businessmen saw my bones

With my skirt in their eyes, they remembered the nights

When they were that man you knew

You told me once

You were happy to have me

But I never gave me away

There’s a lie that I told to you

I would give you my heart, I think

But it’s up in a branch of a tree

It was only to tease when he climbed up the tree

Put my heart where I couldn’t reach

I didn’t mind, I adored him so

We forgot, and we left for home

And that was so long ago

Now the tree it has grown

And nobody knows my lover is buried underground

Nobody knows my lover is buried underground

Nobody knows my lover is buried underground
