<br/>
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 />( )<br />What forever took to find<br />And now he's falling hard<br />He feels the falling dark<br />How he longs to be<br />Beneath his dreaming tree<br /><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 /><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, please?<br /><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 />Gave it all she had<br />But treasures slowly fade<br />Now she's falling hard<br />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 /><br />Oh, 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, please?<br /><br />Take me back, take me back, take me back...<br /><br />Save me please.<br />
