The Incredible String Band - The Tree lyrics
[The Incredible String Band - The Tree lyrics]
I had a tree in the dream
Hills where my childhood lay
And I'd go there in the wide, long days
And my tree would listen to all that I'd say
And the sun was shining brightly
And the sky was smiling
And the sun was shining brightly
And the sky was smiling, oh
Then one day when the world had
Put me in it's tomb
And my life was just an empty room
I went to my tree and I sat there in my gloom
And the light was fading dimly
And the sky was crying
And the light was fading dimly
And the sky was crying, oh
Then my tree bent it's branches
Low down to the ground
And it's green leaves shrouded up my mind
And I left the world somewhere behind
And I didn't not know what I would find
But the sun was shining brightly
And the sky was smiling
Oh, the sun was shining brightly
And the sky was smiling
Hills where my childhood lay
And I'd go there in the wide, long days
And my tree would listen to all that I'd say
And the sun was shining brightly
And the sky was smiling
And the sun was shining brightly
And the sky was smiling, oh
Then one day when the world had
Put me in it's tomb
And my life was just an empty room
I went to my tree and I sat there in my gloom
And the light was fading dimly
And the sky was crying
And the light was fading dimly
And the sky was crying, oh
Then my tree bent it's branches
Low down to the ground
And it's green leaves shrouded up my mind
And I left the world somewhere behind
And I didn't not know what I would find
But the sun was shining brightly
And the sky was smiling
Oh, the sun was shining brightly
And the sky was smiling
