The Hanging Tree

Right outside is me
Swinging, Waiting, Hopelessly

"The Hanging Tree"
Sits right outside the lonely house
waiting, waiting for my spouse
could it be
that she is gone
could it be that she is forever without me

"The Hanging Tree"
She used to sit by the window
watching me as I swing and swing
I thought she would be happy without me

Now alone is this lonely house
Lives a mans spirits
his women
his spouse

"The Swinging Tree"
Right outside is me
Hanging, Waiting, Hopelessly...

I got the idea to incorporate the mystery of a place or time, without ruining the suspense till the end.
