Tyburn Tree
Pat Orchard
Never to big
Never to small
One size of rope
Fits us all
Its never to long
Never to short
Like cries of hope
By those caught
Swing from my legs
Loves neck it breaks
In the shadow
Of the Tyburn Tree
Dawn skies are grey
I turn again
To watch love sway
In the cold light of day
Standing by an open grave
Empty
Safe
For fallen leaves
I won't shed any tears
For the love I bury today
Has been dead
Many years
Swing from my legs
Loves neck it breaks
In the shadow
Of the Tyburn Tree
Dawn skies are grey
I turn again
To watch love sway
In the cold light of day
