Dreaming Tree

Standing 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>
