Peggy Lee - The Tree lyrics
[Peggy Lee - The Tree lyrics]
When your love rains down just
Like diamonds all around
Strange and changing sound
Transformation in the ground
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 youre to see
Must walk behind if youre to lead
Must be the soil to the seed 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
As a baby's breath whispers death
So none can hear
And I passed 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
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 youre to see
Must walk behind if youre to lead
Must be the soil to the seed 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
As a baby's breath whispers death
So none can hear
And I passed 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
