The Great Oak You know just where to look if you wanna find me i'll be right here waiting if you come on back to me Pickin' on this old guitar 'neath the great oak tree Praying that someday, you might wake up and see I'm prayin one day darlin' open those pretty eyes and see Just what it is you been missing, 'neath the great oak tree People ask me why, only you can set me free People ask me why, but I know, only you can set me free An save me from the wind and the rain 'neath the great oak tree So long since you left, seems like a hundred years to me Must be twenty two, or maybe even twenty three? Well I was a strong man then, now I creak like this tree Somebody write to my baby, ain't got long you see Please write my baby, 'cause I ain't got long you see I hear the shadows laugh at me, 'neath the great oak tree ©2008 Steven Blood
