[00:47.27] |
Standing here |
[00:49.60] |
The old man said to me |
[00:51.94] |
"Long before these crowded streets |
[00:54.88] |
Here stood my dreaming tree" |
[00:57.70] |
Below it he would sit |
[01:00.27] |
For hours at a time |
[01:02.66] |
Now progress takes away |
[01:05.34] |
What forever took to find |
[01:08.36] |
And now he's falling hard |
[01:11.12] |
He feels the falling dark |
[01:14.08] |
How he longs to be |
[01:16.62] |
Beneath his dreaming tree |
[01:19.38] |
Conquered fear to climb |
[01:22.00] |
A moment froze in time |
[01:24.35] |
When the girl who first he kissed |
[01:27.42] |
Promised him she'd be his |
[01:29.94] |
Remembered mother's words |
[01:32.82] |
There beneath the tree |
[01:34.93] |
"No matter what the world |
[01:38.04] |
You'll always be my baby" |
[01:40.96] |
Mommy come quick |
[01:43.49] |
The dreaming tree has died |
[01:46.19] |
The air is growing thick |
[01:48.76] |
A fear he cannot hide |
[01:51.49] |
The dreaming tree has died |
[01:54.58] |
|
[02:17.89] |
Oh have you no pity |
[02:22.18] |
This thing I do |
[02:24.42] |
I do not deny it |
[02:27.07] |
All through this smile |
[02:29.61] |
As crooked as danger |
[02:32.61] |
I do not deny |
[02:35.19] |
I know in my mind |
[02:37.92] |
I would leave you now |
[02:40.56] |
If I had the strength to |
[02:43.39] |
I would leave you up |
[02:46.01] |
To your own devices |
[02:48.70] |
Will you not talk |
[02:51.33] |
Can you take pity |
[02:53.87] |
I don't ask much |
[02:57.05] |
But won't you speak |
[02:59.15] |
Please |
[03:01.15] |
|
[03:28.07] |
From the start |
[03:30.47] |
She knew she had it made |
[03:33.23] |
Easy up 'til then |
[03:35.56] |
For sure she'd make the grade |
[03:38.51] |
Adorers came in hordes |
[03:41.18] |
To lay down in her wake |
[03:44.11] |
Gave it all she had |
[03:46.36] |
But treasures slowly fade |
[03:48.84] |
And now she's falling hard |
[03:52.07] |
Feels the fall of dark |
[03:54.37] |
How did this fall apart |
[03:57.26] |
She drinks to fill it up |
[03:59.83] |
A smile of sweetest flowers |
[04:02.76] |
Wilted so and soured |
[04:05.37] |
Black tears stain the cheeks |
[04:07.97] |
That once were so admired |
[04:10.58] |
She thinks when she was small |
[04:13.50] |
There on her father's knee |
[04:15.80] |
How he had promised her |
[04:18.56] |
"You'll always be my baby" |
[04:21.54] |
"Daddy come quick |
[04:24.11] |
The dreaming tree has died |
[04:26.62] |
I can't find my way home |
[04:29.54] |
There is no place to hide |
[04:32.20] |
The dreaming tree has died" |
[04:34.54] |
|
[04:58.57] |
Oh, if I had the strength to |
[05:02.52] |
I would leave you up |
[05:05.12] |
To your own devices |
[05:07.88] |
Will you not talk |
[05:10.50] |
Can you take pity |
[05:13.15] |
I don't ask much |
[05:16.28] |
But won't you speak |
[05:18.30] |
Please |
[05:20.88] |
|
[05:49.05] |
Take me back |
[05:51.23] |
|
[05:51.81] |
Take me back |
[05:53.94] |
|
[05:54.47] |
Take me back |
[05:56.63] |
|
[05:57.13] |
Take me back |
[05:59.19] |
|
[05:59.76] |
Take me back |
[06:01.97] |
|
[06:02.55] |
Take me back |
[06:04.56] |
|
[06:05.14] |
Take me back |
[06:07.15] |
|
[06:07.75] |
Save me please, |
[06:18.79] |
take me back |
[06:21.18] |
