Doves Southern Trees Lyrics

Southern Trees Lyrics

We get so high, did you ever realise 

The things you do, they will come back to haunt you 

Did you read the sign, did you have to make up all those lies 

In misspent youth, it will all come back some time 



Southern trees bear a strange fruit 

Blood on the leaves, and blood at the root 



After all this time, the years don't mean that much to you 

And part of me cries, as the days and the months pass by 

Can you feel the pressure of life, raining down on you 

And part of me dies, dies, because love can be compromised 



Southern trees bear a strange fruit 

Blood on the leaves, and blood at the root 

Santa magnolia, and blood at the root 

Southern trees
