| KT Tunstall – Black Horse and the Cherry Tree Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I see everyone has their head in the gutter or is thinking very concretely. The black horse and cherry tree symbolize evil and the loss of innocence. This is a a song about the Faustian bargain. Which path do you go down? Would you sell your soul for easy success? It's a sort of version of the crossroads theme. The first line lets us know we're not talking about the literal. She went to a place or state of mind where she was all alone and the devil was waiting for her there. She was scared andd her heart told her to walk away and she did, even though the dark side was making a tempting offer. | |
