Three Tree Town Lyrics
Oh come in from the darkness
On the edge of this three tree town
‘cause it's thicker than the woods out there;
Settles harder than the cold winter ground
Come in from the shadows
Of these boot black, marching clouds
‘cause trouble falls like rain here
And lately it's been pouring down
Oh I've seen loneliness
Oh she wrapped me up with such tenderness
Oh I, I've seen loneliness
Oh she tied me down in her sweet caress
Oh come in from the confines of your own mind my dear
‘cause worry is all, all that you'll find there it's clear
And tomorrow will always come
And tomorrow may well bring the sun
Oh I've seen loneliness
Oh she wrapped me up with such tenderness
Oh but I, I've seen happiness
Oh she came round here yesterday
In a bright blue dress
And we go
Oh, oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh, yeah,
Oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh
On the edge of this three tree town
‘cause it's thicker than the woods out there;
Settles harder than the cold winter ground
Of these boot black, marching clouds
‘cause trouble falls like rain here
And lately it's been pouring down
Oh she wrapped me up with such tenderness
Oh I, I've seen loneliness
Oh she tied me down in her sweet caress
‘cause worry is all, all that you'll find there it's clear
And tomorrow will always come
And tomorrow may well bring the sun
Oh she wrapped me up with such tenderness
Oh but I, I've seen happiness
Oh she came round here yesterday
In a bright blue dress
And we go
Oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh, yeah,
Oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh,
Oh oh oh

I love love love this song. It's so real and pure. I have two interpretations to this song as Ben's songs are so poetic. Firstly, I think it has something to do with loving a girl who is going through a tough time or is depressed. - 'because worry is all that you'll find there' However, I also believe it is about a broken down relationship that has experienced many problems but also manage to put that behind them and still love each other. Also, it shows this idea of a relationship that is going round in circles... Love - Argument - Break up - Love again. Mainly, I believe it is about a love that overcomes all obstacles and a sort of carefree, reckless love - I get this imagery from 'How she tied me down in her sweet caress'
when your sad enough for long enough, you fall in love with your own sadness, with the isolation that your so used to, its got you tied down, all wrapped up in her. You can get wrapped up in your own loneliness, making a whole world or person/ego while your away. I think this song is about being there in that lonely place, and knowing you can get out of it, that tomorrow with a little effort could be your sunny day, but at the same time being o wrapped up in your current sadness makes the sentiment of a better almost laughable. Ben really knows how to unwrap even the toughest feelings with poetic beauty.
