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