Screaming In The Trees Lyrics - Arab Strap

We met on mutual ground 

But you avoided my gaze 

Until I lost your face 

In the next morning's haze 

You're shoes could've woken up the whole street 

They drowned out the birds, screaming in the trees 

We sat down on the stone stairs 

And I watched the scars on your knees 

We met on mutual ground 

You fell out of your dress 

This bar's not open late enough 

So let's go home and make a mess 

They smiled and left the room 

To leave us with more space 

But we stayed where we were 

And just had a drink to the chase
