Shirley Bassey — The Living Tree lyrics

The page contains the lyrics of the song "The Living Tree" by Shirley Bassey.

Lyrics

Let me breathe
'Cause I’m drowning in your shadow
Let me leave
Respect me, do not follow me Believe
I can make my own tomorrow
Let me breathe
Does it make
You feel good 'cause you own me?
Does it take
Your puppet strings to hold me?
How I ache
As you’re trying to control me Let me breathe
Let me dance
'Til my shoes cry
Let me laugh
Let me be Let me dance
Let me choose my life
Let me climb the living tree
Picture this
When you wake up in the morning
And I kiss
Your sorry ass goodbye
What would I miss?
There’s nothing I can think of As I leave
Let me climb…
The living tree
