The Dreaming Tree |
| Standing here |
| The old man said to me Long before these crowded streets |
| Here stood my dreaming tree |
| Below it he would sit |
| For hours at a time |
| Now progress takes away |
| What forever took to find |
| Now he’s falling hard |
| He feels the falling dark |
| How he longs to be Beneath his dreaming tree |
| Conquered fear to climb |
| A moment froze in time |
| When the girl who first he kissed |
| Promised him she’d be his |
| Remembered mother’s words |
| There beneath the tree |
| No matter what the world |
| You’ll always be my baby |
| Mommy come quick |
| The dreaming tree has died |
| The air is growing thick |
| A fear he cannot hide |
| The dreaming tree has died |
| Oh have you no pity |
| This thing I do |
| I do not deny it All through this smile |
| As crooked as danger |
| I do not deny |
| I know in my mind |
| I would leave you now |
| If I had the strength to I would leave you up To your own devices |
| Will you not talk |
| Can you take pity |
| I don’t ask much |
| But won’t you speak |
| Please |
| From the start |
| She knew she had it made |
| Easy up `til then |
| For sure she’d make the grade |
| Adorers came in hordes |
| To lay down in her wake |
| She gave it all she had |
| But treasures surely fade |
| Now she’s falling hard |
| She feels the fall of dark |
| How did this fall apart |
| She drinks to fill it up |
| A smile of sweetest flowers |
| Wilted so and soured |
| Black tears stain the cheeks |
| That once were so admired |
| She thinks when she was small |
| There on he father’s knee |
| How he had promised her |
| You’ll always be my baby |
| Daddy come quick |
| The dreaming tree has died |
| I can’t find my way home |
| There is no place to hide |
| The dreaming tree has died |
| Oh if I had the strength… |
| Take me back |
| Save me please |
