Lyrics KT Tunstall – Black Horse & The Cherry Tree

Two, three, four.

Well my heart knows me better than I know myself
So I’m gonna let it do all the talking.
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere

I felt a little fear upon my back.
He said, «Don’t look back, just keep on walking.»
When the big black horse said, «Look this way,»
Said, «Hey, lady, will you marry me?»

But I said, «No, no, no, no-no-no.»
I said, «No, no, you’re not the one for me.
No, no, no, no-no-no.»
I said, «No, no, you’re not the one for me.»

And my heart hit a problem in the early hours.
So, I stopped it dead for a beat or two.
But I cut some cord, and I shouldn’t have done it,
And it won’t forgive me after all these years.

So, I sent it to a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
Now it won’t come back ’cause it’s—oh—so happy,
And now I’ve got a hole for the world to see.

And it said no, no, no, no-no-no.»
Said, «No, no, you’re not the one for me.
No, no, no, no-no-no-no.»
Said, «No, no, you’re not the one for me.»

Not the one for me.

Said, «No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You’re not the one for me.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
You’re not the one for me.»

Big black horse and a cherry tree.
I can’t quite get there ’cause my heart’s forsaken me.
Big black horse and a cherry tree.
I can’t quite get there ’cause my heart’s forsaken me.
