Shake the Tree Lyrics & Tabs by Matthew Ryan
Shake the Tree
guitar chords lyrics
Early in the morning when you're still shaking
And all you want is to come down
When you're so pale and your heart is growling
And all virtue seemed to have drowned
When all you've given and all you've stolen
Kneel down at your side
When all that seemed mended shows itself still broken
And you're feeling swallowed alive
Shake the tree, shake the tree
Shake the tree, that sleeps in you and breathes in me
Now in your writing when you're so desperate
And all you want is to be touched
When you're so dry and your head is pounding
When your love becomes your crutch
When all your suffering and all your addictions
When you're so dry and your head is pounding
When your love becomes your crutch
When all your suffering and all your addictions
Kneel down at your side
When all that seemed mended shows itself still broken
And you're feeling swallowed alive
Shake the tree, shake the tree
Shake the tree, that sleeps in you and breathes in me
One day your misfortune will shine like a crown
One day your misfortune will all crumble down
If you'd just shake the tree, shake the tree
Shake the tree, that sleeps in you and breathes in me
