[00:51.49]Standing here, the old man said to me
[00:56.54]”Long before these crowded streets
[00:59.30]Here stood my dreaming tree”
[01:02.11]Below it, he would sit for hours at a time
[01:07.09]Now progress takes away what forever took to find
[01:12.71]And now he’s falling hard
[01:15.32]He feels the falling dark
[01:17.90]And how he longs to be beneath his dreaming tree
[01:23.33]Conquered fear to climb, a moment froze in time
[01:28.25]When the girl who first he kissed promised him she’d be his
[01:33.70]Remembered mother’s words, there beneath the tree
[01:38.92]”No matter what the world, you’ll always be my baby”
[01:44.52]”Mommy, come quick, the dreaming tree has died”
[01:49.65]The air is growing thick, a fear he cannot hide
[01:54.92]The dreaming tree has died
[01:58.48]
[02:21.06]Oh, have you no pity?
[02:25.30]This thing I do, I do not deny it
[02:30.59]All through this smile, as crooked as danger
[02:36.05]I do not deny
[02:38.39]But I know in my mind
[02:41.39]I would leave you now if I had the strength to
[02:46.75]I would leave you up to your own devices
[02:52.04]Will you not talk? Can you take pity?
[02:57.24]I don’t ask much, but won’t you speak, please?
[03:05.56]
[03:30.74]From the start, she knew she had it made
[03:35.84]Easy up ’til then, for sure she’d make the grade
[03:41.18]Adorers came in hordes to lay down in her wake
[03:46.34]She gave it all she had, but treasures slowly fade
[03:51.41]And now she’s falling hard, she feels the fall of dark
[03:57.27]How did this fall apart? She drinks to fill it up
[04:02.62]A smile of sweetest flowers wilted so and soured
[04:08.02]Black tears stain the cheeks that once were so admired
[04:13.24]She thinks when she was small, there on her father’s knee
[04:18.16]How he had promised her, “You’ll always be my baby”
[04:24.08]”Daddy come quick, the dreaming tree has died”
[04:29.29]The air is growing thick, a demon down his hide
[04:34.68]The dreaming tree has died
[04:37.96]
[05:00.72]Oh, if I had the strength to
[05:04.62]I would leave you up to your own devices
[05:09.98]Will you not talk? Can you take pity?
[05:15.38]I don’t ask much, but won’t you speak, please?
[05:23.62]
[05:59.20]Take me back
[06:02.00]Take me back
[06:04.56]Take me back
[06:07.33]Take me back
[06:09.96]Save me please, oh
[06:19.18]
[07:35.72]Take me back
[07:38.15]Take me back
[07:41.05]Take me back
[07:43.58]Take me back, oh
[07:46.57]Take me back
[07:49.06]Take me back
[07:51.87]Take me back
