If you feel like it’s gonna rain
Just let it wash away the pain
I can see it in your eyes
Don’t worry, we’ll make it through the night
Carved our names in a tree in Tennessee
Bees were swimming in the sky
I heard somewhere they cut that old tree down
Oh, but I pray it was a lie
It’s time that we meet again
The line between now and then
If we let go of our pride
I promise everything will be alright
Meet me in the Cypress trees
I’ll trade an eye for an eye
Just to search for you through the thick bayou
Oh, until the morning light
Carved our names in a tree in Tennessee
Bees were swimming in the sky
I heard somewhere they cut that old tree down
Oh, but I pray it was a lie
Yeah, I pray it was a lie
