 Black tree remember  me from the time  when we used to talk?
 How strange, things  have changed i don't know  you anymore
 But you stayed  the same that's why  i came, i need  your clarity
 'Cos i  find peace as i sit  beneath your  familiarity
 Black tree remember  me? i'm the one  who moved away
 Yeah i know  i've grown so much  since yesterday
 And it's been  so long that it  feels wrong to ask  anything of you
 But i'm  more lost than i  ever was and i need  to know your truth
 Black tree remember  me?  i hoped you might
 I was sure  you saw me running  through the night
 So i  cried out, yeah i screamed  so loud for you  to rescue me
 But i  was found without  a sound in your  company  y-y
 Company
 Black tree remember  me for  the rest of time
 When i go  i hope they lay  me by your side
 'Cos you  stand tall, will you  ever fall?  i know you never will
You'll  be free for eternity  on the other side
 That old hill  x12
