A Little Something

Here's a little poetry for you. I was looking through some of my old song lyrics and came across this from last year. It's got a pretty good melody. But anyway:

Would you rest beneath an oak with me
When you really want to run?
Would you be content with a shady tree
When you'd rather feel the sun?
I would trade my shade,
I would melt away
Just to prove you are the one.
Would you rest beneath an oak with me
When you really want to run?

Would you walk one hour in the dark with me
Through the forest of despair,
'neath a blood-red moon while the hungry tune
Of a lone wolf fills the air?
I would walk alone
Miles from home
Through hell if you were there.
Would you walk one hour in the dark with me
Through the forest of despair?

Would you watch and pray so faithfully
At the spot where last I stood?
Would you hang a wreath on your door for me
Till I finally make it home?
I would bleed for you
Till the valley of
My last stand drips with blood.
Would you watch and pray so faithfully
At the spot where last I stood?

Would you take the witness stand for me
If the world calls me a shame?
Would you cling to your belief in me
If they all deny my name?
I would hang for you
In the noose -- I'd face those who
Say you're to blame.
Would you take the witness stand for me
If the world calls me a shame?
