The Dreaming Tree Lyrics

The Dreaming Tree lyrics

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 slowly 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 her 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
