Underneath the Cypress Tree

I thought it was the ringing in my head

but it was 3 in the morning and you said that he was dead

so I couldn't find the words or reasons cause we both knew that I would go

I just jumped out of bed , found the darkness in my head and threw on my dirty clothes

(Chorus)

you said you had the shovels and we would dig a hole

underneath the cypress tree where as children we would go

you said no one would find the grave where the body had to go

you said it was a secret that only you and I would know

 (Verse 2)

we drove up to the graveyard where the forgotten call their home

because no one comes to visit and they all had died alone

I asked about the body and why he had to die, but I swore I knew the answer, I saw tears swelling in your eyes

You carried both the shovels and I would light our way until we found the cypress tree where both of us would play

(Chorus)

You said you had the shovels and we would dig a hole

underneath the cypress tree where as children we would go

you said no one would find the grave where the body had to go

you said it was a secret that only you and I would know

 (Verse 3)

It only took a moment to realize we were all alone and I saw the moonlight fading, felt a chill go through my bones

I saw the rusty axe leaning on the tree and there was no body laying in the leaves

I figured out why you were crying and why sorrow was in your eyes

you brought the rusty axe for me and I know that in the darkness, its one of us who dies

(Chorus)

you said you had the shovels and we would dig a hole

underneath the cypress tree, You swore no one would know

But I swear they'll find the body, we both know that I won't lie

Because before the sun rises we know which one dies
