Spoiler Free, Hunger Games Swag

I'm not in the business of spoiling books for other readers, especially not for a finale as highly anticipated as Mockingjay. After reading The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, I found this lovely fan-recorded version of the song known as Rue's Lullaby which is introduced in the first book and another, also fan-recorded, song known as The Hanging Tree which is mentioned in the third book.

The lyrics to the song, as written in The Hunger Games are:

Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your eyes
And when they open, the sun will rise

Here it’s safe, and here it’s warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet–
–and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.

Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it’s morning, they’ll wash away

Here it’s safe, and here it’s warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet–
– and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.

Here is the place where I love you.

The lyrics to this song, as written in Mockingjay, are:

Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No Stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree

Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out
For his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No Stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree

Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No Stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree

Are you, Are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of rope
Side by side with me
Strange things did happen here
No Stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight
In the hanging tree
