tall black trees in the wind,
they sway and they bend.
leaves in your face,
now you're gone.
a war can last too long.
a memory in your place.
and now that you're gone,
a war can last too long.
time is all it takes
to heal the break that's in my heart.
when it gets dark,
let's murder all the things we were.
turn this to a peaceful place.
for time's all it takes
for me to heal the break.
oh, say you will carry on.
oh, say you'll burn
all those who are wrong.
lord, say you'll put my heart into this song.
and i haven't seen you in so long.
they sway and they bend.
leaves in your face,
now you're gone.
a war can last too long.
a memory in your place.
and now that you're gone,
a war can last too long.
time is all it takes
to heal the break that's in my heart.
when it gets dark,
let's murder all the things we were.
turn this to a peaceful place.
for time's all it takes
for me to heal the break.
oh, say you will carry on.
oh, say you'll burn
all those who are wrong.
lord, say you'll put my heart into this song.
and i haven't seen you in so long.
