Blitzen Trapper, Alela Diane - The Tree lyrics
[Blitzen Trapper, Alela Diane - The Tree lyrics]
When your love rains down just
Like diamonds all around
Strange and changing sound
Transformation in the ground
A great and winding tree split's the
Earth from sea to sea
And my lover comes to me
Bids me follow endlessly
As she laughs and starts to climb
Through the branches and the vines
Through the tangle of our minds for
This tree you see it grows, never-ending
When your love flows free
Just the way it’s meant to be
All these chains that bind
I find I quickly leave behind
And all the earth below seems
A thin and fleeting snow
And my father I concede is
Further up upon the tree
And his beard is made of bees
Dancing wildly in the leaves
And my lover says to me
"You must be blind if you’re to see
Must walk behind if you’re to lead
Must be in soil to the sieve, never-ending"
For I feel the years, like distant gears
May turn and come to rest
Where they dwell within my chest
Let my spirit coalesce
Yes, and death is dressed in colors blessed
A mystery I confess I cannot see
When your love rains down
The sound of singing so profound
Fills the ground so deep like
A weeping mothers sleep
And as a baby’s breath whispers
Death so none can hear
And I pass the ancient seer
Entering the atmosphere
In a tree that never ends with
My lover and our friends
Entering the black of space we
Replace the stars that shine, never-ending
Like diamonds all around
Strange and changing sound
Transformation in the ground
A great and winding tree split's the
Earth from sea to sea
And my lover comes to me
Bids me follow endlessly
As she laughs and starts to climb
Through the branches and the vines
Through the tangle of our minds for
This tree you see it grows, never-ending
When your love flows free
Just the way it’s meant to be
All these chains that bind
I find I quickly leave behind
And all the earth below seems
A thin and fleeting snow
And my father I concede is
Further up upon the tree
And his beard is made of bees
Dancing wildly in the leaves
And my lover says to me
"You must be blind if you’re to see
Must walk behind if you’re to lead
Must be in soil to the sieve, never-ending"
For I feel the years, like distant gears
May turn and come to rest
Where they dwell within my chest
Let my spirit coalesce
Yes, and death is dressed in colors blessed
A mystery I confess I cannot see
When your love rains down
The sound of singing so profound
Fills the ground so deep like
A weeping mothers sleep
And as a baby’s breath whispers
Death so none can hear
And I pass the ancient seer
Entering the atmosphere
In a tree that never ends with
My lover and our friends
Entering the black of space we
Replace the stars that shine, never-ending
