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