The Summer Tree – words and music by Jes Perry

Monster of love
Come clip my spreading wings
Bind me to that post, to the Summer Tree
Horned spirit, snakes entwined
The serpents kiss is on your wrists,
Love makes me blind
Tie me to the Summer Tree and let me be reborn
There’s death in this dare, the taste of the dying
Starving Parched, twisted open
Feel the saving rain, lifting me kissing me
Feel the saving rain taking me tasting me, breaking me,
Gripping me, yes and touching me
Scrape me raw turn me outside in,
Expose the other me,
The innocent ghost of a chance to be reborn with the earth
Oh faithless goddess of the moon,
Let your arrow pierce my broken heart
Bind me forever in love
Tie me to the Summer Tree and let me be reborn
There’s death in this dare, the taste of the dying
Starving Parched, twisted open
Feel the saving rain, lifting me kissing me
Feel the saving rain taking me tasting me, breaking me,
Gripping me, yes and touching me
Oh but you’re not a god you’re just a man
In touch with love and emotion
commanding spirits, fingertips of light
Feel the saving rain, lifting me kissing me
Feel the saving rain taking me tasting me, breaking me,
Gripping me, yes and touching me
I am reborn in love another day
Waiting for fates chance and choice I’m tied
To the Summer Tree
Tied, I’m tied to Summer Tree
I’m tied to you
