Midnight Tree

from Water Not Wine by The Stompies

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The long awaited second album from The Stompies can be all yours, in pristine uncompressed CD quality for less than the price of a half decent bottle of Rioja from the Alvechurch Co-Op (and if you're not sure where Alvechurch is, what the Co-Op is or indeed quite what Rioja is then at least one member of the band can bring you up to speed on all three).

    It's taken a while.
    Interrupted by changing geography, a global pandemic, and minor heart surgery, The Stompies have been saying this collection was "on the way" for much longer than expected... but now the wait is over, and it was worth it.

    11 original songs with which to treat your CD-Player, AND unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Water Not Wine is available in inferior formats elsewhere - inferior primarily because it is only here on Bandcamp, or in person, that you can show your love and support for your favourite Worcestershire 7-piece by for this delicious item.

lyrics

You know when you were younger and not sure what you knew,?
We’d lay beneath the midnight tree, a tree that sheltered you.
But finding the right moment’s not something you can teach,
And somehow when you least expect, it all slips out of reach;
It all slips out of reach.

I'm going back before the sunrise,
I'm going back, it don’t frighten me,
I'm going back, to where the heart lies,
I’m gonna make my bed and lay my head,
Beneath the midnight tree.

Don’t think of me in pictures you took so long ago,
None of us stay younger, though you used to tell me so.
So if you feeling careless and you’ve got a moment too,
Think of me at the midnight tree, that’s where I think of you;
That’s where I’ll think of you.

I'm going back before the sunrise,
I'm going back, it don’t frighten me,
I'm going back, to where the heart lies,
I’m gonna make my bed and lay my head,
Beneath the midnight tree.

Trees don’t die in winter; green leaves turning red.
Live just in the moment; that’s what you said.

I feel a need to just believe; believe in something new.
But all the gods are spoken for, I’ll just believe in you.
And if I’ve learned a lesson, (but I wouldn’t swear I have),
All that’s left is dust and bones, so live life while you can;
Just live life while you can.

I'm going back before the sunrise,
I'm going back, it don’t frighten me,
I'm going back, to where the heart lies,
I’m gonna make my bed and lay my head,
Beneath the midnight tree.

I'm going back before the sunrise,
I'm going back, it don’t frighten me,
I'm going back, to where the heart lies,
I’m gonna make my bed and lay my head,
Beneath the midnight tree.
