Get Over The OakTree ...And wait For me There (REWORKING)

GET OVER THE OAK TREE AND
(WAIT FOR ME THERE)
[A reworking of the original instrumental track by Silvio Vinci.]

Leave the key beneath the flowerpot,
Let the screen door swing.
Take the photograph you always loved,
Leave the other things.

I’ve got one more shift to finish,
One more debt to square.
When the whistle cuts the evening,
I’ll be on my way out there.

Go on past the oak tree,
And wait for me there.
Where the road gives out,
And the river runs clear.

There’s a bend beyond the county line,
Where the blacktop turns to clay.
You can watch the lights go out in town,
Then turn your eyes away.

I’ve been living by that factory clock,
Let it take the best of me.
But it can’t tell me when to love you,
And it can’t say when to leave.

Go on past the oak tree,
And wait for me there.
Where the road gives out,
And the river runs clear.

Let that whistle call another man;
Tonight it won’t be calling me.
Go on past the oak tree,
And wait for me there.
Where the road gives out,
And the river runs clear.

I’m almost there…
