Sunday afternoon, I didn't see this coming so soon Nothing had prepared me for that news When life is tearing at the seams and I don't know what to believe I just want someone to understand me And she said that she saw you, kneeling by my side You told her to be quiet "all she needs is love tonight, Love it kept me hanging, hanging on a tree, And love will keep her faithful, faithful to me." I saw you once before, I was laying on the kitchen floor, Reeling from a terrible report And I have had a few days I thought I'd die from heartbreak But you came and never went away And I think that I saw you, kneeling by my side Heard you whisper to me, "Everything will be alright, Love it kept me hanging, hanging on a tree, And love will keep you faithful, faithful to me." In autumn of '16, on the darkest days I'd ever seen You met me at the house down by the sea And in the kindest way, you showed me that you're not the same That you came and you never went away You came and you never went away And I know that I saw you, sitting by my side, So real I could have reached out and touched you if I tried And you said "Love it kept me hanging, hanging on a tree, And love will keep you faithful, faithful to me."
