The Living Tree - Shirley Bassey

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
