Lyrics

The Olive Wood
By Ted Horrell

Been staring at cracks in the ceiling
Been rubbing a bruise that needs healing
Been thinking of when we said goodbye for good
Wish that I could see you again ‘neath the olive wood

So long I can hardly remember
Why our friendship cooled to an ember
So many miles between here and where we stood
Still I’d like to take the road back to the olive wood

I wish you peace
It seems so strange you were so close to me
I wish you peace
Maybe that’s the way it was supposed to be

Many suns have set on our grievance
But we both changed from the experience
I’m sure in a way, we were both misunderstood
But I bet we could sort it all out at the olive wood

I wish you peace
I wish you could hear what I would say to you
I wish you peace
I want you to feel that I’m praying for you

Some things you’ve just got to get through
Some folks are worse having known you
Been thinking of when we said goodbye for good
Wish that I could see you again neath the olive wood

Been staring at cracks in the ceiling
Been rubbing a bruise that needs healing
