lyrics

VERSE 1:

Leaning tree
Oh why do you lean on me?
Leaning tree
What more can you ask of me?

Leaning tree
The heavens above me
Leaning tree your weight pushes me down
The earth beneath my feet just falls way

Leaning tree
Oh why do you lean on me?
Leaning tree
What more can you ask of me, leaning tree?

Leaning tree
Why have you chosen me, please can you answer me?
Leaning tree your roots have a hold on me
They're pulling me, pulling me.

BRIDGE:

I'm gonna fight this, I will cut you down,
Take your branches with me to another part of town
Make a fire, set your branches alight and watch them roar

As the flames rise, higher, higher, higher
I am running away, further, further, further
From a life, from a death, from this fire.

VERSE 2:

Leaning tree
Oh why do you lean on me?
Leaning tree
What more can you ask of me, leaning tree?

Leaning tree
The heavens above me
Leaning tree your weight pushes me down
The earth beneath my feet just falls way.

BRIDGE:

I'm gonna fight this, I will cut you down,
Take your branches with me to another part of town
Make a fire, set your branches alight and watch them roar

As the flames rise, higher, higher, higher
I am running away, further, further, further
From a life, from a death, from this fire.

ENDING:

Leaning tree
Oh why do you lean on me?
Leaning tree
What more can you ask of me, leaning tree?
