Black horse and the cherry tree

KT Tunstall

(Woohoo, woohoo) (Woohoo, woohoo)

COUPLET
Well, my heart knows me better than I know myself
So I’m gonna let it do all the talking
(Woohoo, woohoo)
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree
(Woohoo, woohoo)

I felt a little fear upon my back
I said don’t look back, just keep on walking
(Woohoo, woohoo)
Well, the big black horse said « Look this way »
He said, « Hey lady, will you marry me? »
(Woohoo, woohoo)

REFRAIN
But I said « No, no, no, no, no, no »
I said « No, no, you’re not the one for me »
No, no, no, no, no, no
I said « No, no, you’re not the one for me »

COUPLET
And my heart had a problem in the early hours
So I stopped it dead for a beat or two
(Woohoo, woohoo)
But I cut some cord, and I shouldn’t have done it
And it won’t forgive me after all these years
(Woohoo, woohoo)

So I sent her to a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree
(Woohoo, woohoo)
Now it won’t come back ’cause it’s oh-so-happy
And now I’ve got a hole for the world to see
(Woohoo, woohoo)

REFRAIN
And it said « No, no, no, no, no, no »
I said « No, no, you’re not the one for me »
No, no, no, no, no, no
I said « No, no, you’re not the one for me »

 

I said « No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
You’re not the one for me »
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
No, no
You’re not the one for me

Big black horse and a cherry tree
I can’t quite get there ’cause my heart’s forsaken me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Big black horse and a cherry tree
I can’t quite get there ’cause my heart’s forsaken me
