Beneath Oak Trees

Don't be fooled by the whispers of the winds from the North They'll just leave you where you lay, broken, beaten on the floor My dear baby, these words are pourin' straight from the Lord You've got a diamond, I got gold, do we really need much more Don't be fooled by the voices that we're hearin' from the town 'Cause all that matters in the end is that we're famous in this house Open up all the walls, let the wind just blow us out Take us away to a place where we couldn't live without Well, then just take my hand and be with me, my dear We'll stay for good Well, then just promise me a life that's green from leaves Beneath oak trees Here, beneath oak trees Don't you know of the road that never has an end Cross over lines, smell the pines from the places we have been Stand here now and just know that these words will never change And put your palms into mine so our hearts can beat the same Well, then just take my hand and be with me, my dear We'll stay for good Well, then just promise me a life that's green from leaves Beneath oak trees Here, beneath oak trees, oh When we grow old, we'll find love in every single place I'll put your flowers in a pitcher 'cause I can't find a vase But for now, sit with me at the altar of our grace The sky looks pretty, but I swear to you, it's jealous of your face Well, then just take my hand and be with me, my dear We'll stay for good Well, then just promise me a life that's green from leaves Beneath oak trees Here, beneath oak trees
