An Old Tree Lyrics by Black Hulled Ships

Empty Spaces

2021

I saw an old tree by the college path
Where the vines had all grown round
At the old trees base grew a thicket
Of tangled thorns and savage spines
Savage spines
A song bird silent on the lonely perch
Made not a sound that I could hear
Perhaps too blasted by the wind and rain
Perhaps did I approach too near?
Where branches once reached up into the sky
Years of decay had cut them short
Where the old beech bark was once smooth and grey
Now peelеd and cracked, fallen away
Fallen away
A song bird silеnt on the lonely perch
Made not a sound that I could hear
Perhaps too blasted by the wind and rain
Perhaps did I approach too near?
