The Killing Tree - Paul Colman Trio

All alone in an evil dream I see myself up high 
And it's me over you with my arms spread open wide 
I try to run from the place I know that I can be set free 
Come away come away there's a sweet voice calling me 
To the killing tree 

I look around at all the faces who are passing me 
And I run try to run with nails in my feet 
All the time I was building castles on a sandy beach 
Leading you leading you to a place I'd never been 
To the killing tree 
Come on 

I know what you're asking me and I don't wanna give 
'Cause it's safe and I know 'cause I've been here all these years 
All the precious pain I hold without it there is fear 
And I'm afraid when you say that you'll get me outta here 
To the killing tree 
Come on 

Come away to a place of healing 

So now I run to you and I move from night to day 
For to live I must die and there's still no other way 
I was alone in an evil dream but you took my place up high 
Now it's you over me with your arms spread open wide 
On the killing tree 
Come on
