I'm not really sure if this should be rated a T. Tell me if I should!
Elphaba walked through a golden corn field. The cornfield where Fiyero was tortured. And died.
Are you, are you coming to the tree?
They strung up a man they say who murdered three.
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be,
If we met, at midnight, in the hanging tree.
Fiyero didn't hurt anyone. He died for her. Why did they torture him?
Are you, are you, coming to the tree?
Where dead man called out, for his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be,
If we met, at midnight, in the hanging tree.
He had told her to flee. If only she hadn't fled, like a coward. She could have saved him...
Are you, are you, coming to the tree
Where I told you to run, so we'd both be free.
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be,
If we met, at midnight, in the hanging tree.
He told her to run. They both were free, in a way. She was free from South stairs, he had been freed from life. If only she could join him. Escape to a painless, deep, dark, slumber.
Are you, are you, coming to the tree?
Wear a necklace of rope, side by side with me.
Strange things did happen here no stranger would it be,
If we met, at midnight, in the hanging tree.
Fiyero wouldn't want her to die. She would have to live, for him...
