Lyrics for Hangman Hang My Shell On A Tree
Hangman Hang My Shell On A Tree Someone said he knows he know, knows nothing yea He who knows he knows nothing really knows But I have searched but I never could find A way to make my true self unwind And while I sit here waiting to die I can see what I am, can tell you why The time's right ahead, can't you see Cause my life's running out, out on me I forgotten how it was, let me be So hangman hang my shell, on a tree It's all so easy like the time, that I first learned yea It's all the same since the day, the world first turned yea But I never tried to listen or wait But now it's so clear but for me it's too late. So I sit here trying not to cry I only wanted peace, and now I must die The time's right ahead, can't you see Cause my life's running out, out on me I forgotten how it was, let me be So hangman hang my shell, on a tree
