Verse 1:
                                                 
  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
 

Verse 2:
                                           
  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


Verse 3:
                                 
  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


Verse 4:
                                    
  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
