lyrics

Oleander, Oleander
Won't you stay with me and ease my troubled mind
Oleander, Oleander
Oh, the peace you'd bring might be a friend of mine

Far away from here
Is a place so near
And dear to all who claim
To be glory bound from this evil town
Because the blood done signed our names

SOLO

I feel so much despair
All the live long day
Still it pains me to say
There are moments here and there
When I don't care
If you would carry me away

Oleander, Oleander
Won't you stay with me and ease my troubled mind
Oleander, Oleander
Oh, the peace you'd bring might be a friend of mine
A friend of mine
A friend of mine
A friend of mine
A friend of mine
