Dark Of The Tree

Verse 1

White oak shadows stretch

High above the kudzu vine

Waiting

For the sound of a cedar bow string

Pre-Chorus

He’s lurking

He’s looking

He’s taking aim

Chorus

He’s gonna step from the dark of the tree

He’s gonna fire that arrow into me

I said it wouldn't happen

I swore it wouldn't happen

Now I’m falling

Yeah I’m falling right where I stand

Verse 2

I ran through every county line

Hunting for a different kind of trouble

Spent my Saturday nights

Watching the back of a dozen faded denim jackets

Pre-Chorus

He’s lurking

He’s looking

He’s taking aim

Chorus

He’s gonna step from the dark of the tree

He’s gonna fire that arrow into me

I said it wouldn't happen

I swore it wouldn't happen

Now I’m falling

Yeah I’m falling right where I stand

Bridge

Messing me up

Wrecking my plans

Tearing me down

Chorus

He’s gonna step from the dark of the tree

He’s gonna fire that arrow into me

I said it wouldn't happen

I swore it wouldn't happen

Now I’m falling

Yeah I’m falling right where I stand
