*(Verse 1 - Lead)*
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
*(Background)*
Oh, the tree...
*(Lead)*
They strung up a man they say who murdered three,
*(Background)*
Murdered three...
*(Lead)*
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be,
*(Background)*
Would it be...
*(Lead)*
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree.
*(Background)*
In the hanging tree...
*(Chorus - Lead)*
Strange things happen to good people,
*(Background)*
Good people...
*(Lead)*
When the weight of the world feels too heavy to bear,
*(Background)*
Too heavy to bear...
*(Lead)*
And the love that we seek seems just out of reach,
*(Background)*
Just out of reach...
*(Verse 2 - Lead)*
I’m lost in a dream, where shadows play tricks,
*(Background)*
Oh, the tricks...
*(Lead)*
Overwhelmed by the darkness, it cuts like a fix,
*(Background)*
Cuts like a fix...
*(Lead)*
I long for the light, I crave for the sun,
*(Background)*
Crave for the sun...
*(Lead)*
But the night whispers softly, saying, “You’re done.”
*(Background)*
Saying, “You’re done.”
*(Chorus - Lead)*
Strange things happen to good people,
*(Background)*
Good people...
*(Lead)*
When the sorrow inside pulls you down to your knees,
*(Background)*
Down to your knees...
*(Lead)*
And the memories linger like echoes of pain,
*(Background)*
Echoes of pain...
*(Bridge - Lead)*
But oh, my love, there’s freedom in acceptance,
*(Background)*
Freedom in acceptance...
*(Lead)*
We’ll dance through the chaos, find joy in the wreckage,
*(Background)*
Joy in the wreckage...
*(Lead)*
Together we’ll rise, through the ashes we’ll bloom,
*(Background)*
We’ll bloom...
*(Lead)*
In the shadow of heartache, we’ll carve out a room.
*(Background)*
Carve out a room...
*(Chorus - Lead)*
Strange things happen to good people,
*(Background)*
Good people...
*(Lead)*
But our hearts still beat strong, in the face of despair,
*(Background)*
Face of despair...
*(Lead)*
With a love that can weather the storm and the rain,
*(Background)*
Storm and the rain...
*(Outro - Lead)*
So are you, are you coming to the tree?
*(Background)*
To the tree...
*(Lead)*
Where the strange things happen, but love sets us free,
*(Background)*
Sets us free...
*(Lead)*
If we meet at midnight, just you and just me,
*(Background)*
Just you and just me...
*(Lead)*
Strange things happen to good people, you see.
*(Background)*
Oh, you see...
